Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First Edition. Limited Edition of 1,400 copies total (only 700 for commercial sale). 94, [ii] pp. Published by the Private Libraries Association, Pinner (1968).

Densely illustrated throughout with 18 wood engravings and 16 full-page plates at the rear capturing Buckland Wright's masterful printmaking. Internally a very nice, clean, and tight copy.

However, David Chambers saw the immense value of the project and single-handedly expanded it into a full standalone hardcover bibliography. Because this copy features an ironclad connection to the book's origin via the David Chambers bookplate and was one of the copies set aside from the commercial pool by the publisher himself, it holds unique archival status.…
