Very Good condition. Neat ownership name "R.F Waley" to blank front endpaper. Machine-and hand-sent and printed in red and black with type ornaments and initials on wove paper. The text of the type book from a work originally prepared by John Baskerville. Although this is specimen book of fairly conventional types: Imprint, Garamond, Baskerville, Caslon, Cloister, Milner Initials - it is an exemplary work of composition.
