Description: Octavo, 149pp., illustrated by Eric Gill. A fine, fresh copy in the publisher's brown pigskin binding, with stamped figures from Gill's designs to the covers, as issued. Just a touch of foxing to the rear paste-down, else lovely. In the publisher's slipcase, with some fading and light wear to extremities, but sound, with no cracks. A notoriously fragile early LEC volume, whose pigskin binding is prone to scuffing, fading, and staining. This is an uncommonly well-preserved example with absolutely no restoration; number 1258 of 1500 limited copies SIGNED by Gill on the colophon page.
