About this Item

12mo, 31pp., plus back matter. A fine copy in the publisher's thin grey wooden veneer boards with plain white spine. Spine gently and evenly faded, but with the gilt still bright. Else very fresh and handsome. To paraphrase from Lane's Foreword, the illustrations herein were created for various Penguin trade publications over the previous ten years. Since the thin mass-produced paper cannot give the full flavor of these wood engravings, Lane decided to have this little volume made on thicker handmade paper (Hosho-Shi from Berrick Brothers in London), which does more justice to the engravings. With contributions from Reynolds Stone, Cecil Keeling, Derrick Harris, Imre Reiner, Roy Morgan, George Buday, David Gentleman and Diana Bloomfield. A lovely little book. Laid-in is a Christmas card from H. F. Paroissien, who seems to have been a Director at Penguin at the time of publication.

Store Description

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
