San Francisco: The Book Club of California, 1949. Complete set of 12, each a long folio sheet of deckle-edged paperstock folded once to make an 8x10 inch oblong "folder" printed letterpress by the Grabhorns, each titled in a different color with about 400 words of text and a 4x6.5 facsimile card in colors. Each of the twelve is a little toned round the margins, a couple a mildly edgeworn, and --caveat emptor-- a little musty. The lot enclosed in its original quarter-leather blue cloth slipcase with raised bands and spine label gilt. The label is defective, half being torn away, and extremities slightly scuffed. "Taken from originals in the collection of the Bohemian Club." Complete, but with certain faults.
