One of 500 copies on specially made paper produced to commemorate the 2000th anniversary of Vergil's birth; unnumbered copy. Quarter bound in cream vellum with duck-egg blue boards stamped with a large "V" on both front and back. Boards are somewhat grubby and edge worn with a little loss to the edges and some cracking to the spine, but they are still impressive. Toned end papers with gift inscription on ffep. Internally very good with only the odd spot of foxing here and there.

Store Description

Richardson Rare Books Tel. 01472 823900 was formerly known as Mr. Books which is located on Tonbridge High Street in Kent, England for over 12 years up until July 2017. Due to the sale of the bricks and mortar side of the business it made sense to change the name to reflect a shift of direction. Since then we have been trading online, at PBFA fairs and Bloomsbury Book Fairs, as well as showcases at select antique centres in Lincolnshire. We don't specialise in anything in particular, just rare and fine books on many subjects. Over the years we have built up an impressive range of signed modern fiction firsts which aren't always listed on abebooks so please do call us if you have any particularly collections you'd like to add to. The stock is being constantly replenished so it's always worth visiting us at one of the fairs we exhibit at. See web site for details (subject to constructing it.)
