Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First edition. Illustrated with five color lithographs (a frontispiece and four in-text) by Falim Egan. Square Quarto. Fine in blindstamped full calf and fine cloth solander case. Published in an edition of 100 copies, 60 of which were offered for sale; this copy is numbered "9/12" and Signed by Heaney and Egan on the limitation page.

However, it lacks the signatures called for on both the quote and additional lithograph, as well as the bound-in tissue guards. Still a lovely production, with one more lithograph than what Brandes and Durkan call the "ordinary copies.".…
