About this Item

As New; immaculate; see scans and description. Franklin Center, PA: The Franklin Library, 1980. Signed, Limited Edition. Signed by Isaac Bashevis Singer on the third free end paper. First Edition Thus. Includes the rather scarce 22-page "Notes from the Editors", which accompanied this edition in its original shipment, also pristine. Octavo, 223 pp., six mood-capturing full-page woodcut illustrations by Phero Thomas. Full rich very deep mottled green-black leather, gilt decorated and imprinted, spine panels rib divided, All Edges Gilt, green moire endpapers, with matching satin page-marker ribbon. As New, and quite flawless. Franklin's as-always lavish binding, in a limited signed edition of Isaac Bashevis Singer's timeless 1953 collection of short stories, Gimpel the Fool and Other Stories (English Translation by Saul Bellow). The paper is 60-pound Franklin Library Eggshell Wove Cream, typeface is 11-point Baskerville. Gilt is 22 karat. The Franklin Library, doing what they did best. As New; bright, tight and a visual treat. With the author's 'A Special Message to Subscribers from Isaac Bashevis Singer', written in 1980 in New York for this limited edition, and telling a rather remarkable 2-page story of how this collection eventually came to publication; and, of course, the separate 'Notes from the Editors' (itself also As New), a very desirable - and pristine - example. See all scans. LFR5.
