Description:
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1972. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. The 1972 signed/limited edition, #32 OF 50 COPIES SIGNED BY EDWARD GOREY at the limitation. This edition calls for "an original ink and water colour drawing by the author", which this copy lacks. Still though, very scarce as such and a lovely copy to boot. Tight and Near Fine in its laminate boards. And in a crisp, price-intact, Near Fine dustjacket, with a tiny chip at the rear panel's top-edge and a miniscule closed tear to the front panel's lower-edge. Quarto, internally immaculate, with no writing or markings of any kind. Also includes a sturdy, VG example (light soiling to the title label and along the rear panel) of the publisher's printed slipcase, which has clearly protected the book and dustjacket very well.
