About This Item
Brenthurst Press, 1983. Hardcover. As New/No Jacket. This is limited edition "i" of 25 copies that have been bound in full leather and is accompanied with its own matching, velvet-lined Solander Box. The boards show no evidence of shelf rubbing or wear, and they remain sumptuous and strong, with raised bands and gold gilt to the spine. Internally, the end pages are ever so slightly tanned around the edges, but this is barely noticeable due to the vibrancy of the end pages themselves. There are no markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are pristine, immaculate, crisp and complete. The binding is secure and absolutely beautiful. The Solander box is a touch rubbed and marked, but remains resilient. JK. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
