[Dropmore Press] Bryant Arthur. HISTORIAN'S HOLIDAY. London The Dropmore Press 1946, 1946.
Price: US$104.50 + shipping
Description: One of 550 numbered copies. Large 8vo, bound in blue cloth with gilt Dropmore Press emblem on upper cover, gilt lettering on spine, gilt patterned turn-ins, in slipcase. [vi], 84. A fine copy. A series of miscellaneous essays originally published in the "London Illustrated News." The Dropmore Press was established by Lord Kemsley in 1945 and was the successor to the Corvinus Press of Lord Carlow. Though Dropmore books did not attain the crisp perfection and beauty of the Nonesuch or Golden Cockerel Presses, they do possess a modest charm perhaps born of the more-than-modest post-war circumstances in which they were produced.

Price: US$122.38 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: Number 369 of limited 550 copies - although it states that only numbers 1 to 25 have been specially bound and signed by the author - and this copy is both. The book also has a personalised inscription on the FEP reading, 'For Dinny from Bri' It is tempting to speculate that this is in fact number 3 and the addition of the further two numbers were of significance to the recipient! Gilt titling and uncut block. Presents well.
