Condition: Near Fine
Description: Quarto, 30pp., illustrated. A quite crisp, clean copy, near fine, with some scrunching to the the front interior fold of the glassine dust jacket, else a very nice indeed, with just a hint of scattered foxing. In the original silver chemise and slipcase. The chemise is in near fine condition with a modest marginal stain, and the slipcase is missing one thin side panel, thus good only. An entirely unrestored copy of this beautiful publication. An errata slip is apparently called for, but none is present in this copy. This is number 26 of 100 limited copies on Van Gelder Zonen paper (of a total limitation of 113).
