Description:
Northampton, MA: Gehenna Press, 1967. Collectible; Very Good. Copy #51 of an edition of 250 printed (this being the first copy to follow the specially-bound fifty copies that carry the Roman numerals I thru L). Bound in 1/4 vellum over marbled boards. "The ornaments were arranged by Leonard Baskin. The type-face used throughout is Centaur designed by Bruce Rogers". Tightly-bound, internally immaculate and solidly VG+. Just a bit of flecking to the gilt-lettering along the vellum spine and very light, forgivable scuffing at the front panel's bottom-edge. Quarto, unpaginated. An elegant celebration of fine printing, typography and bookmaking.

Rather than being numbered, this is designated as copy 'x' and is inscribed by the Baskins on the colophon: "Jill & Dick love Lisa & Leonard 1967." It is the previous owner's recollection that Dick Warren, presssman in the early days of the Gehenna Press, was the recipient of the inscription. BASKIN 51.
