About This Item

The First UK printing of this special edition published by the Old Stile Press, Llandogo in 2003. This is letter 'L' of 26 copies on Somerset Book paper and bound by the Fine Bindery in the publisher's original sea blue morocco with silver stamping to the spine. Signed by Kusha, Anna, and Catrin Petts, who hand-coloured the images in this special issue. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Some light toning to the cover edges. Free from inscriptions and internally clean. Housed in the near fine publisher s clamshell case with pasted-on cover label as issued. Poems by Dylan Thomas with wood engravings and drawings by John Petts. The book was produced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the poet s death. The publisher s flyers for the book are loosely laid in. A very handsome production and now very scarce with such attributes. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
