Chicago: Argus Books. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Limited Edition. Hardcover. A very beautiful copy of this limited edition. The book itself is virtually without flaw. I'm sure there is one, but I don't see it. Some of the pages have not been cut. This book was printed on top quality paper, which has aged to a creamy ivory. All plates are present, with tissue guards. The top edge is gilded. The jacket, which is made of parchment, has slight edgewear, a small closed tear at the back, and the spine has tanned. Normally I would put a mylar Brodart cover on such a jacket, but the slipcase is also present, and if Brodarted, the book would not fit in to it. The slipcase is sound, but with some wear to the edges. The translator is not credited. Fast shipping, with tracking number provided. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
