About This Item
The Cresset Press, London, 1929. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First edition, printed at the Curwen Press and limited to 450 numbered copies on mould-made paper, plus a further thirty deluxe copies (this one of the 450 examples, but un-numbered). Large 4to. 406pp. Bound in full brown buckram with two red leather spine labels, lettered and bordered in gold (this binding unusual as the 'correct' binding should be white vellum; the fact that this example is un-numbered may suggest that it was intended as a trial or proof copy, or perhaps a file copy). Fore- and bottom edges untrimmed. A touch of very light spotting to the edges and endpapers, and to very occasional leaf margins. Backstrip ends very gently rubbed. A very good copy of an uncommon and quite delightful production: a tour-de-force collaboration featuring some of the finest wood engravers of the post-Great War period, each one tackling one of the fourteen books classified as apocryphal by the King James Bible. [A heavy item; overseas orders will incur a postage surcharge]..
