About This Item
New York: Joanna Cotler Books B.E. Trice, 2002. Limited DELUXE First Edition. Full leather. Fine. A beautiful and scarce Limited Deluxe Edition First Edition signed by Clive Barker on the limitation page and, which makes it scarce, instead of a designation one of 50 Deluxe copies, the limitation page states "Herb Yellin's Copy." Bound in the Deluxe binding of quarter-bound red leather with blue cloth with an image inset, titled in gold. With a matching blue cloth slipcase with gold titling and a cutout for the cover inset to show through. B.E. Trice Imprint on spine. A beautiful binding and both book and slipcase are in fine unread condition.
It's hard to imagine that a publisher would reset the font to make this single imprint, but they did and it created a wonderful one-of-a kind edition for the late Herb Yellin who was the beloved founder and publisher of Lord John Press; he passed away in 2014 and this beautiful and scarce book is from his library.
