About This Item
Garden City: Doubleday, Doran , 1936. Hardcover. Fine. The Cambridge Edition is limited to seven hundred and fifty numbered copies, signed by the illustrator Rockwell Kent. Bound in publisher's original full blue cloth with the title stamped in gilt on the spine, top edge gilt, fore edge uncut. This set was originally issued in a single slipcase for both volumes and was extremely heavy. We had two new blue cloth slipcases lined with paper made to make it more manageable. The original vellum labels stamped in gilt were difficult to read from any distance so we had substituted two new red leather labels stamped in gilt which matched some of the coloring on the title page.
