Item description from seller

First edition. Printed at the Chiswick Press in an unspecified limited edition (based on other examples we have handled there were at least 570 copies produced). This example un-numbered. 4to. 71pp. Cream cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a gilt-stamped green leather label to the upper board. With woodcut illustrations throughout contributed by John Minton, including a number of full-page presentations. The top and fore edges quite lightly spotted, with just a dash of further spotting to one or two preliminary and concluding leaves. A very good copy. No dust wrapper called for, but housed in the original patterned stiff card slipcase, which is a little rubbed at several extremities, and lightly soiled in places.
