About this Item

**EXTREMELY RARE MODERN LIBRARY CURIO WITH BOTH VOLUMES IN DUST JACKET AND SLIPCASE PRESENT!**

Known by Modern Library collectors as the "ALCOA PROMO", this is a beautiful copy with both books, dust jackets and the all important matching slipcase present! An unknown number of copies produced by and given out by ALCOA, the US aluminum company. Both volumes include crazy aluminum front and rear end papers with "Compliments of the Corporate Design Division - ALCOA" on a pasted down plate.

The back of the dust jackets have employee photos of the ALCOA Design Group and a pretty funny advertising blurb comparing ALCOA problem solving to the challenges faced in both books - Don Quixote and The Illiad.

Both books are typical Modern Library blumenthal bindings in NEAR FINE condition - no major flaws with bright boards and gilt, bright pages, and no writing in anywhere in book. Dust Jackets are VERY GOOD+ with minor chipping otherwise bright and clear. Slipcase is in VERY GOOD- condition with shelfwear and slight soiling but is strong and intact and VERY RARE!

AN AMAZING COLLECTIBLE FOR ANY CORPORATE OR MODERN LIBRARY COLLECTOR!
