THE SINGULAR ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN

Octavo (6-1/2" x 9-5/8") bound in half polished black calfskin, gold-stamped, with French marbled paper sides. A definitive text edited, and with an introduction, by John Carswell. Illustrated with pen and water-color drawings by Fritz Kredel, hand-colored by Walter Fischer. Of a total edition of 1500 copies SIGNED by the artist on the colophon page, this is one of only 15 Presentation Copies with the publisher's blindstamp attesting to such on the colophon page where instead of a number the words "Office Copy" are handwritten along with the initials "G.C." Acquired directly from the publisher's files, this copy belonged to Gordon Carroll who was in charge of the club's operations in the 1970s when it operated out of Avon, CT. Hint of rubbing to the spine tips; otherwise, a tight, fresh copy. About Fine in chipped glassine and a Fine slipcase.
