It is a very nice book and since Lizzie is in the title, and one of the longer poems in the book is about Borden, it is a fine addition to any Lizzie Borden collection. <\/p>\n<p>There is <a href=\"http:\/\/cgi.ebay.com\/The-Passion-of-Lizzie-Borden-by-Ruth-Whitman-1973_W0QQitemZ220010904572\">one on eBay right now<\/a> that has a starting bid of only 1 cent. Cool, huh? Well, not so fast amigo. Look at that shipping fee: $5.00 for MEDIA MAIL, which would actually cost the seller under a buck for this slim volume. So here we have the classic snarley auction tactic: sell the item for cheap and jack up the shipping to make up the difference in item price. Please don&#8217;t fall for this type of disreputable behavior. You can grab this title on Abebook.com for under 5 dollars and shipping is a reasonable $3.50. I use Abebooks.com all the time and the book arrives very quickly and I have always (knock on wood) been happy with the condition matching the book&#8217;s description in the listing. On eBay, on the other hand, I have more than a few times been disappointed with the book&#8217;s wear. In once case, the seller even misread the jacket and sold the book as a Lizzie connected item when it wasn&#8217;t. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image369\" src=\"https:\/\/lizzieandrewborden.com\/mondolizzie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2006\/07\/Passion of LB copy.jpg\" class=\"centered\" alt=\"passion\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The late poetess Ruth Whitman published a collection of poetry in 1973 and titled it The Passion of Lizzie Borden.
