This is Eric Gill's personal set, bound for him as two volumes and with his bookplate in the first book. All thitry-four issues with pagination per the bibliography by Taylor & Sewell (pp. 143-44). Complete, with wrappers where called for, and including the calligraphy item by Edward Johnston in the Christmas 1916 issue. Volumes 1-4 bound in full leather with Gill's bookplate and pencil signature. Volumes 5-7 bound in quarter leather over plain black paper boards. (Title page gathering for issue 33 is neatly inserted, likely an error at binding.) The second book is signed in pencil by Gill and dated 1925, with his note "bound by DA". Books free of markings inside except that Gill has added some changes to his essay "The Control of Industry" in the first issue and a few minor alterations in other issues. All issues complete and untrimmed, only minor ordinary wear from being handled by Gill. The plain bindings are secure with spines faded. These were obviously intended to be working books. The Game was the house magazine for one of the great artistic communities of the 20th century. The magazine powerfully expressed the Catholic distributist ideas that were dear to Gill and other Ditchling members. A wonderful and unique set.…
