About This Item
Orinda: Press of the Golden Key, 1979. Olive wrappers designed and lettered in green. A tipped-in piece of papyrus, from the Papyrus Institute, Cairo, serves as a frontispiece. Limited to 150 copies, 100 of which were for presentation to members of the Roxburghe Club, San Francisco. Signed by Olmsted on the title page. One little wrinkle to front wrapper, a stain to the upper edge which extends down the center pages (a spill on the booklet while opened? not very noticeable); fine otherwise.
