With a tipped in facsimile of van Sandwyk's miniature book "Wee Folk." Edition limited to 50 copies.

Wessel and Lieberman, for some-20 years served as Seattle's leading antiquarian bookshop, was a steadfast booster of book arts in the Pacific Northwest and, particularly, the work of Charles van Sandwyk. The firm's involvement with… Read More
