New York: William Edwin Rudge, 1930 First edition. Small quarto (9¼x6¼ inches). Pp. xvii, [1], 358. Illustrated with 215 plates and illustrations including folding frontis facsimile. Index. Full brown cloth with gilt-lettered red leather spine label, top edges gilt. Bookplate on inner cover. Fore-edge of folding frontis a little crunched, but a very fine and bright copy with fine printed dust jacket. A beautiful copy of a book often found less than fine. Often the leather spine label is faded or chipped, the jacket seriously toned, etc. Our copy is nice! An important work! This is a more comprehensive and greatly extended treatment of his earlier work, Old Papermaking (1923)..
