The Limited Editions Club (LEC) was founded in 1929 by George Macy (1900-1956). The club specialized in publishing illustrated fine-press reprints of literature. Most of the limited editions published by the club were signed by the illustrator, and in some cases, by the book designer or even the author. As of 2012, the LEC said there would be no further publications by the club. Seller Inventory # 021874
