Contact seller3-star sellerCondition: Fine. Limited Edition. 8vo. Unpaginated. Introduction by van Sandwyk. With a tipped in facsimile of van Sandwyk's miniature book "Wee Folk." Edition limited to 50 copies. This copy was specially bound for booksellers Wessel and Lieberman; at the colophon, the number of this copy is struck in pencil, with the note: "Ma…de-up copy for Wessel and Lieberman Booksellers."

The first book published by Heavenly Monkey. Provides descriptions of van Sandwyk's limited and trade edition books issued during the first 18 years of his career. Wessel and Lieberman, for some-20 years served as Seattle's leading antiquarian bookshop, was a steadfast booster of book arts in the Pacific Northwest and, particularly, the work of Charles van Sandwyk. The firm's involvement with Heavenly Monkey included co-publishing ventures. Of this bibliography, OCLC locates seven institutional copies. Charles van Sandwyk (illustrator).
