Description: Edition ltd. to 1000 copies, sm. 8vo, pp. 76, [4]; 7 facsimiles, 3 folding; fine copy. Typophile Chapbook no. 56. The story of Nash's projected Bible, not finished, but intended to be his magnum opus. Printed by Henry Morris of the Bird and Bull Press. This copy includes the facsimile on p. 25, which is lacking in many copies. As Morris explains in his Thirty years of Bird & Bull: "This book was an octavo, but if measured in terms of aggravation it was a double-elephant folio . Eighty percent of my aggravation was caused by the photo-engravings they supplied . They were unbelievably troublesome because each was mounted on the worst twisted, bowed and uneven wood blocks I've ever seen. There's just no way to make cuts like this print properly . There was one cut that resisted all efforts to achieve even poor results and after a few hours of torture I took it out, destroyed it with a sledge hammer and left that page forever blank. Which is why only a few copies have the cut of John Clark's Daily Journal, which should have followed page 24, but mostly does not."
