Contact seller5-star sellerPaperback. Narrow 16mo. Stiff tan wrappers. 30pp. Near fine. Tight and internally pristine, with faint of wear to outer wrappers (only). Handsome first edition, limited to 325 copies, of this cute-as-a-button "Christmas 1944" keepsake. One large historiated initial capital letter per leaf, the subject matter as the preface notes… "designed to familiarize the public not only with Oxford books, both new and old, but also with the history of the Press itself throughout the past four centuries." Thus A is for Ancient custom, B is for Bibliophiles, C is for Children's books.
