Quarter bound in dark green goatskin, black rule, with green buckram boards. The title embossed in blind on the upper cover and titling in bright gold to the spine. This is No 167 of a Limited Edition of 230 copies of which only 200 numbered copies are for sale (originally published in December 1980 at £112.00 apparently). 15 copies were 'Specials'. This copy has a little light damp staining to the bottom and front edge of the front board (around 2" at it's deepest) but this is hardly noticable as it melds neatly into the exisiting colour, all that is slightly different is the patina in that area. A slight difference in colour to the top front edge of the leather, and there is a small spot on the rear board, but apart from these noted 'faults' the covers are NF. The book is now protected in a new, removable, clear book plastic cover and looks FINE. The book measures 300 mm x 195 mm. Internally, there are NO inscriptions or marks, but this copy belonged to the late David Lyn, a well known Welsh Actor/Producer/Director for Stage, TV and Film, and has his personal 'blind' stamp at the foot of the front free endpaper. There is also some very light, but patchy, foxing/browning to the endpapers and to the page fore-edges. (xiv) + 112 pp + (1) limitation. Half title, Calligraphic Title page in green and brown, also Individual Calligraphic Poem Titles variably in either brown or green, a publishers device in green, and 6 lovely b/w wood engravings/plates by Peter Reddick. Printing by Ieuan Rees. ALL Text in WELSH. "Robert Williams Parry, Poet, Soldier and University Lecturer, and was well versed in English poetry, and came under the influence of the Romantic poets, especially Keats and with other Georgian poets, whose imagery is sometimes reflected in their poems. But in spite of all influences, his acute observation, his independent outlook and his meticulous attention to the mode of expression created a body of poetry which has its own special features and is a unique contribution to Welsh literature. He earned widespread recognition as an established poet when he won the chair at the 1910 National Eisteddfod for his poem 'Yr Haf' ('The Summer') , which has been described as "the best known and admired of all the 'Eisteddfod Awdlau' of the 20th "Century." . " Two volumes of his poetry were published - 'Yr Haf a cherddi Eraill' in 1924, and 'Cerddi'r Gaeaf' in 1952." . . ; 4to 11" - 13" tall.

Newtown, Gwasg Gregynog. Spine of box slightly faded and some light soiling, binding fine as is the book, aside from some light spots of finger soiling to verso of title page.  The second of the special bindings issued by the reformed Gwasg Gregynog. Sydney Cockerell had served a brief period at the Gregynog Press bindery in 1925, immediately preceding the arrival of Douglas Cockerell's former student, George Fisher; Sydney went on to become a partner in his father's business, renamed to 'Douglas Cockerel & Son', and continued the firm's reputation as one of the foremost binderies of its time. It was Sydney Cockerell's own student, James Brockman, who took charge of the Gwasg Gregynog bindery from 1982. Joan Rix Tebbutt, a graduate of Lettering and Book Design at the Glasgow School of Art, was one of the most distinctive mid-century designers and calligraphers 'and her skills melded admirably with those of Sandy [Sydney] Cockerell in the long series of bindings on which they collaborated' (Anthony Dowd, The Special Bindings of Gwasg Gregynog). .
