Item description from seller

Published in London For Restricted Circulation Only By Ernest Benn Limited, Bouverie House, Fleet Street, 1926. 'Of The Derivation of Some Kakiemon Designs on Porcelain, 100 copies have been printed'. This is No. 89. 28 pages including six illustrated with B&W plates. There's an errata slip attached between pages 16 and 17. A three page preface written by the author, Kenneth Dingwall and then his text which is an adaptation from a 'Paper read before the Oriental Ceramic Society on 23rd January 1924. Good Condition. This extremely rare book(one other for sale) is, like most of us, imperfect. Unlike most of us it has a couple of small holes at its gutter. Holes that a (fear not) long-dead insect clearly indifferent to Japanese enamel ceramics bored (sorry). The good news is that he was a quitter. Only 3 pages and Not the covers are involved (see photos, nothing shall be hidden). Also good news, as rare as this book is so shall my discount be. And happily the book is solidly bound and the interior pages are in very good shape, with No marks, No soiling, No underlining or writing (except for a 100 at the top of the FFEP). The margins of some pages have light areas of foxing but not the six pages of illustrations with the plates. The gilt writing on the spine looks good, however threading has come through the cover and is visible (see photos). There are also areas/spots of soiling on the covers (photos again).

Store description

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.

Specialty

My large inventory of books is focused on rare, collectible books, mainly hardcovers, many signed.
