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.
