Description:
Leaf book containing a leaf from the Doves Press edition of Goethe's Faust II. Texts include A Note by the Printer, a history of the Press and its types, a profile of Cobden-Sanderson by the noted calligrapher Edward Johnston, C-S's own "The Ideal Book or Book Beautiful", and a list of Doves publications. Designed and printed by John Henry Nash. Number 99 of 339 copies. Bound in limp vellum, which has a few very small surface imperfections, one affecting the spine title. The vellum has gone slightly rogue, with slight warping of the covers and some separation of the pastedowns from the vellum. t.e.g. A very nice example of one fine printer's tribute to another!

Description:
Maya Angelou created this book for the Limited Editions Club: she wrote the poem, she selected the artist, the award-winning water colorist Dean Mitchell, and asked Wynton Marsalis to compose and then perform an original jazz composition just for this book (a CD copy is tucked into the solander box). Mitchell wrote an Afterword, relating his composition to the poetry.The book was designed, typeset, and printed by Dan Carr and Julia Ferrari. Carol Joyce bound the book and the solander box in a matching tan fabric with morocco labels for the book and the spine of the box.
The book has six color etchings created by Mitchell and printed by Peter Pettengill. Marsalis and his sextet performed the work, with Angelou reciting her poem. Signed by Angelou, Mitchell, and Marsalis. As New. History LEC p. 239.
Please note: this book is very large and heavy. Extra charges will apply for the cost of shipping materials and postage above what is normal for a book. Thank you for your understanding!
