Condition: Near Fine

Description: Copy #253 of 600 numbered copies signed by Alfred Eisenstaedt. A stunning limited edition. Beautifully bound in gilt-stamped blue goatskin over light brown linen boards; housed in publisher's black cloth clamshell box with gilt-stamped black leather spine label, interior lined with blue velour. The book is fine (the goatskin has unique grain and scars like all copies); the slipcase is faded with light wear and bumping to one corner. Club Newsletter (Series 50, Volume III), laid in loose, together with a letter from the Easton Press about the book (after apparently acquiring the balance of the edition). Illustrated with 5 photogravures by Alfred Eisenstaedt.
