Stated first printing. Rumpling of lower edges, rubbing of rear and front covers, but the illustrated history of our 26 letters remains in lovely condition. overall with tight bright pages untroubled. NF minus, maybe? See photos.

Store Description

These volumes represent the cream of my aunt's voluminous collection, which includes signed first editions from a friend's defunct Lincoln City store, antiquarian tomes a Reed professor bequeathed decades ago, and the art & design section of downtown Portland's long-lamented NorWester Bookshop. Given spatial constraints, I've little choice but to liquidate the inventory she spent a lifetime accumulating, but my dilemma opens opportunities for the right consumer. Shop freely and enjoy in her memory!
