About This Item
East Aurora, New York: Done into a Book by The Roycrofters at their Shop, 1909. First edition. Leather bound. Very good minus. 123pp. Octavo [20 cm] Limp sheep skin wraps. Yapp edges. The title is embossed on the front wrap. With woven hemp straps. Handmade paper pastedowns and flyleaves. The text block is just starting to come away from the wraps at the rear, and the text block is cracked at the title page. Despite these flaws, this is still quite a nice copy. With stunning two color illustrations by Burt Barnes inserted throughout the text. Paul McKenna points out the following: "Title page and running calligraphic heads look like Dard Hunter's work but are unsigned." McKenna 178.
