A lovely copy of this Fine Press limited edition.
Limited to only 250 copies - of which only 200 were for distribution, this is number 37.
Folio, vellum-backed green cloth boards, gilt-lettered spine-label (slightly chipped). Small gilt design (looks like a unicorn but presumably a woolly whale!) to the front spine edge. Vellum and cloth are slightly darkened, but overall in very good condition.
Inside, the book is in lovely, almost as new condition.
Title page, printed in red and black, has a note regarding the W. A. Dwiggins door knocker. Introduction by Melbert B. Cary, Jr. [6] 1-[79] + numbered colophon bearing the number 37 inside of the Dwiggins door knocker design, Marley's door knocker and the five initial letters have been designed and drawn for this work by W. A. Dwiggins. Marginalia and initial letters printed in red.
This was the first folio sized, and first prose volume printed by this press. Hand set by George Van Vehten Jr. With Dutch Lutetia c type of J Van Krimpen and printed damp on Tarazona paper.
A scarce item by its nature, this is one of only a handful available to purchase at this time.
