Octavo. [2], 145, [1] pp. Facsimile. As issued, with printed wrappers. Nearly fine. A remarkably good facsimile of an early foundry specimen book. At the time of its reproduction, only four copies were known to exist. The original is a remarkable artifact for a foundry that only operated for 6 years. The quantity of fonts, decorations, embellishments, etc. is incredible. Even this facsimile is strangely rare. Only the American Antiquarian Society reports ownership according to OCLC.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
