15x11cm, 8 and 8pp. Two booklets, one stapled, one sewn into cream card printed covers. Two rather charming ephemera from AJA Symons' First Edition Club, founded in 1922. The Rule Book. ND, is printed by the Pelican Press, laid-in is a single sheet Form of Application for Membership. The more general descriptive booklet is printed by The Curwen Press, and carries no explicit date but the content would seem to date it to 1932. It includes a list of publications and exhibitions. Laid-in is another, smaller and plainer Form of Application for Membership. Near Fine (staples of Rule Book rather rusty).
