About This Item
Wakefield, The Fleece Press, England, 1991 Wakefield: Fleece Press, 1991. First printing of this edition. 156 pp w/index. Horizontal 8vo. Fine in printed paper-covered boards with cloth spine. Edited, with an Introduction and Notes by Robin Myers, and wood-engraved illustrations by John Lawrence. One of 250 copies, un-numbered. Each copy has a signed print by Lawrence in a rear pocket. The sturdy slipcase is near fine with evidence of a common problem; tiny threads are teasing along the edges. This seems common with all copies I have seen. An attractive example of this small press. The original prospectus is loose laid in the front.. Signed by Illustrator. Limited Edition.. Hardcover. Fine.
