Item description from seller

No. 103 of 150 copies. A remarkable large double-sided concertina alphabet book, made up of 26 pop up capital letters cut and creased by Ron King onto embossed square areas of 120 lb Barcham Green RWS hand-made paper. Title printed in blind, colophon hand printed in 14pt Gill Light. 14 x 29 cms, bound by Paul Haskell between inlaid beech and sycamore boards, in the original canvas box & slipcase lettered in gilt. In excellent condition. The pinnacle of Ron King's Alphabet series. A beautiful, serenely tactile work of art. Ron wrote in his 'Cooking the Books: Ron King and Circle Press' - "A Mexican bark book gave me the idea for the book structure but I improved on it by making use of along French-fold with which I was able to halve the length of the concertina and make it double-sided.This proved to be the most difficult production I have ever undertaken!)".
