About This Item
Princeton University Press, 1969. 1st. Cloth. Collectible; Very Good/Very Good. WARMLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR GEORGE GALAVARIS on the front free endpaper. A solid copy to boot of the 1969 1st edition. Tight and VG+ (with very light soiling along the bottom-edge) in a bright, price-clipped, VG dustjacket, with very light chipping at the spine crown and along the panel edges. A tiny bit of soiling too at the panels but still attractive and very presentable. Tall, thick quarto, 269 pgs. of text plus 112 plates. #6 in Princeton's formidable "Studies in Manuscript Illumination" series. Signed by Author.
