Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The deluxe issue of the first edition, limited to just 50 specially bound and numbered copies, signed by the author (from a total edition of 550 copies, the other 500 being un-signed). 4to. 102pp. Hand-printed on handmade cream wove paper and bound i…nto full brown niger morocco, with two raised bands and gilt-stamped lettering to the spine and upper board. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. The title page printed in red and black. A trace of near-invisible partial toning to the free endpapers, and a tiny hint of spotting to very occasional protruding fore edges. A virtually fine copy in the original stiff card dust wrapper, marred by a little toning and spotting, and with some further internal browning. The front panel of the dust wrapper titles the book 'Monsignor Knox Sermons' (printed in black and bordered in red), and spine panel states 'Sermons by Monsignor Knox' (printed in black). The whole is housed in the original card slipcase with a printed paper label which has been correctly hand-numbered '41'. The slipcase is slightly rubbed and dust soiled. Eleven sermons, originally delivered between 1922-1948, and bar a single one, all hitherto unprinted in bookform, and including a number never previously printed. Most uncommon. Signed by Author(s).
