Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Quarto with gilt-embossed crimson cloth boards. Text block moderately soiled with a minor moisture wave, boards slightly bowed, also afflicted by some soiling, weakened hinges. Prospectus, related ephemera, and list of signatories laid-in. 385 pages. First facsimile edition, inscribed profusely with vernacular illustrations. Handled extensively in the collection of signatures. Previous owner was once a bookseller and is now an accomplished book artist and fine printer (Sam Amico of The Middle Earth Press).
