About This Item
London : The First Edition Club, 1926. Cloth. Very Good. 13" by 10". None. A volume on bookbinding dating from 1926. Published by the First Edition Club, a collective of rare and antique book enthusiasts, the volumes deal with exceptional bindings from throughout the world and centuries, displayed in thirty monochrome and colour plates. Limited to six hundred copies, this is an unnumbered copy within that printing. In decorative cloth binding with gilt detailing. Externally smart, there is some minor wear to the joints, backstrip and extremities, the latter of which are also somewhat rubbed. Internally, the pages are firmly bound, though chipped, although there are light instances of spotting throughout. Very Good
