About This Item
New Haven: Yale University Press/Printed by Carl Purington Rollins, M.A., at the Sign of the Chorobates, 1925. First edition. Sewn salmon wrappers with printed title label on front cover. Of a numbered edition of only 31 copies printed by Carl Purington Rollins at his own fine press, this is number 13. The first of three volumes all with similarly tiny limitations, published over the course of the next eight years; this titled "The Big Bull Dean," a humorous poem about Everett Victor Meeks, who served as Dean of the School of Fine Arts from 1920 to 1947. Some fading and wear to the covers, wrapper splitting at spine. WorldCat shows only three copies in institutions other than Yale.
