About This Item
New York: [The Gilliss Press,, 1903] One of 160 copies printed by the Gillis Press for Charles Scribner's Sons. An edition of 150 copies in a different binding was printed by the Ashendene Press in the same year. Full limp vellum with gilt lettering and decoration. Original ties have been trimmed away at fore-edge but remain threaded through the binding and are visible at spine. Two twentieth-century bookplates on front pastedown, both of book collector David Wagstaff, (1885-1951) with some offsetting from one bookplate on front free endpaper. Also with the modern bookplate of television producer and collector of sporting books Rob Cohen (not to be confused with the film director of the same name). Octavo. With elaborate engraved title-page, text illustrations throughout, and the printer's device of Wynkyn de Worde on the final page. Also with red decorative initials and ornaments throughout. A near fine copy of a lovely book. Wynkyn de Worde printed The Boke of Saint Albans, which is often credited in whole or in part to Juliana Berners, in 1496. Berners' authorship of the Boke has not been entirely verified, but her other writing on fishing, hunting, and hawking is some of the first of its kind.

Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
