Double columns printed in red and black throughout, initials hand-illuminated in red, blue, yellow, and gold. Original quarter cloth, paper backstrip label. A very good copy, touch of foxing to boards, fine internally. § One of 300 copies. Printed at the Grabhorn Press. The leaf contains the text of 2 Maccabees 14:36 to the end, including the show-stopping death of Razis, the triumph of Judas and the death of Nicanor. "An extremely handsome book which drew praise from both contributing essayists and many Club members, some of whom found in this volume a relief from the Western Americana theme which had predominated in the Club's publications of the past five years." Magee 51.
