Item description from seller

Quarto, 91pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, about fine, in the publisher's black cloth, stamped in gilt. Edges a trifle age-toned. Per an inked note on the colophon from the publisher: "Overrun. One of six such copies sent to Robert and Jess for their friends. H. W. W." Duncan has written above the colophon: "For David with love, Robert." Wenning's note has some bibliographical significance; the colophon states that 200 copies were issued for sale, and three copies, lettered A, B, and C, were reserved for Duncan. In fact, then, Wenning's note indicates that more than three copies were in fact given to the author. Scarce to begin with, and this is one of a very small number of Duncan's presentation copies.

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.…
