About this Item

Folio, pp. 10, [2]; 9 full-page wood engravings by Karl Mahr; original printed wrappers, loose and laid into a black cloth-backed red cloth binding, front cover stamped in gilt, fine. An excellent collection of portraits of bookmen and bookwomen working their craft. The edition size is not stated but Oak Knoll reports that only 130 were printed, of which only 28 were in boards. The cloth binding was done by Greg Campbell, Campbell-Logan Bindery, but this copy is not bound, as such, but rather laid in.
