Library of Congress, Washington, first edition, 1986. Cloth, 4to, 29 cm. 101 pp, [1] folded leaf of plates. From the blurb: "In a remarkable feat of synthesis and historical imagination, Needham weaves together the stories of William Caxton, the wealthy cloth merchant who at fifty years of age mastered the newly invented art of printing and took the craft to England, of the broadside indulgence he printed, and of the institution he printed it for.

Washington D.C.: Library of Congress, 1986. Bradley Martin's copy. Laid in is a two page letter on Pierpont Morgan Library stationary to Bradley Martin. It is dated 6 May 1987 and mentions a possible exhibition of Martin's treasures at the Morgan Library "in the fall." Without saying so, the letter hints that the Morgan would be an appropriate repository for Martin's incredible library. The attempt proved to be futile as the Martin collection was sold at auction in 1989 and 1990, realizing a total of $35,303,000. Fine condition in a Very Good dust jacket which has 1 small chip to the rear panel. The jacket is protected by a removable Brodart clear-plastic sleeve. NO owner's name or bookplate.
