London: Thornton Butterworth Limited, 1927. Hardcover. Very Good. Quarter vellum printed in black, batik paper-covered boards, thick 4to., 367 pages, 16 mounted wood engravings of fish and birds on India paper, captioned tissue guards. One of 100 numbered copies printed in a larger format than the trade edition on handmade paper and bound thus. This copy formerly belonged to Elmer Adler, with his attractive small signature and the date at the top of the pastedown, with a faint small "withdrawn" stamp and "dupl" annotation in pencil. It is lacking the additional signed engraving, which we like to think went with Adler to serve as a specimen in his legendary seminars at Princeton. The spine is moderately but not offensively spotted, the board edges and tips show wear, overall a very good copy with the plates and pages clean and fresh, in archival mylar.
