Binding: Hardcover
Condition: Very Good
Edition: 1st Edition, Limited Edition
Seller: Mark Gustafson's Books, Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A gorgeous example of the books published by Purushottama Lal at his Writers Workshop in Kolkata (Calcutta), India, which has been in operation since 1958. "Hand-set in Univers typeface & printed on an Indian-made hand-operated machine by P.K. Aditya at the Lake Gardens Press, Calcutta 45, on map-litho paper made in India. Layout & lettering by P. Lal. Hand-bound by Tulamiah Mohiuddeen with cotton handloom sari cloth woven in India." The binding is flawed in ways (poor gluing to boards, wrinkling to paper, slightly bowed boards) endemic to all books from this press, but nonetheless beautiful. This copy also shows slight wear to corners of boards. Seller Inventory # 2409
