About This Item
Newtown: Bird & Bull Press, 1988. 8vo, original black quarter morocco with printed paper-covered sides. 57, (3) pages [certificate for 1000 shares of Bird & Bull Press (San Serriffe branch) bound in as pages 29-32]. Two San Serriffe 25 Corona notes and the original prospectus laid in. With custom-made folder holding a 1 troy ounce, .999 fine silver 100 Coronas piece issued by Morris for the Republic of San Serriffe. Both items inserted in accompanying slipcase. Fine. Limited to 350 copies. Morris is at his most amusing discussing this imaginary kingdom, and does his part to keep the legend alive, issuing not only a silver 'coin' for the island nation, but paper currency and a map as well. On a more serious note, Morris provides a checklist for the publications of his own press (one of the finest in the U.S.) and discusses other privately struck coins. Morris's printing is outstanding, and anyone who appreciates a beautiful book should own at least one of his productions.
