About This Item

New York: Heritage Press, 1963. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Fine. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. George Du Maurier. A sturdy, attractive, tightly bound hardcover copy of a Heritage Press title, being a First Edition Thus. Clean, bright, unmarked interior, minimal rubbing to extremities, having been preserved well in a Very Good condition, paper-covered cardboard slipcase, soiled and sunned a bit. Bound in decorated paper over boards, gray cloth-backed. From a collection of three dozen Heritage Press titles that belonged to an Eastern Washington professional botanist. Complete with the Sandglass newsletter. The Heritage Press operated from 1937 - 1982 and was created by George Macy, who managed with editors the reprinting of volumes from the Limited Editions Club, thus enabling fine printing exemplars to trickle down to a broader public still thirsty, newly thirsty, for classic nineteenth-century novels and biographies. This oversized, Imperial octavo format hardcover examplar, has been beautifully illustrated by the author. Preface by Daphne du Maurier. xiii [8], 6-344 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
