The First Edition Library, Shelton, Connecticut, circa 1988-93. First Edition. Hardback. Fine/Fine. A complete set of 14 facsimile first editions, the first facsimile edition in this format, The First Edition Library, Shelton, Connecticut, circa 1988-93. The publishers went to very considerable trouble to duplicate the bindings, text and dust jackets of the original Jonathan Cape first editions. The book size, weight, typeface, endpapers, texture and finish of the bindings, as well as the Richard Chopping dust wrappers, were all exactly reproduced.

They are quite excellent and no other correspondent is nearly so fruitful. Once again, when you are called upon for help, you have given it in fuller measure than was asked for and produced your usual high quality journalism. I must say, looking back on your years of service for Mercury, I can think of no correspondent with anything approaching your record, and I do hope you realise how much your… Read More
