About this Item

Though Arthur Rackham's enchanted illustrations for some of the greatest works in literature are well-recognizable, the man himself remains elusive. Offered here is a "definitive biography,'' drawing on previously unpublished documentary & pictorial evidence, as well as insights from the artist's family, friends, & fellow artists. A First Printing of this FIRST US EDITION from 1990, this quarto 9.0" x 12.50") has brown cloth-covered boards lettered in bright gilt to spine. In 199 pages, lavishly illustrated throughout, with select Bibliography, Notes, & Index in rear. Condition is Near Fine: nearly as bright & clean as Brand New save for some light foxing to top outside page edges & slight sticker residue to center of front cover. Binding strong & straight, hinges secure, pages white with a whisper of tanning to edges, but completely unmarked. Corners crisp. The unclipped DJ is also Near Fine, with just a hint of edgewear: colorful & bright & protected in new clear mylar cover to stay that way! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2pm weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends, & holidays ship very next business day. SORRY: expedited domestic or international shipping require preapproval of extra postage (at least double) due to USPS rates.
