Description

First UK Edition. 416 pages. Superbly rebound by the world-renowned Bayntun-Riviere of Bath. Sumptuously re-bound in full red morocco with all edges gilt, 5 raised bands to the spine with title blocked in gold in panel 2 and author's name blocked in gold in panel 3;decorative chiyogami end-papers; and single-line gilt border to both the front and back boards. What differentiates this copy from the norm - apart from the beautiful binding - is how clean the interior pages are. An OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE. No inscriptions. Becoming very scarce indeed. It would grace any collection of modern first editions. Looks very smart in its custom-made acetate wrapper. Photographs/scans available upon request.
