Original Wraps. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: No Jacket as issued. 1st Edition. Precursor to the 'Printing and the Mind of Man' exhibition with books borrowed from Ian Fleming's collection (24 items) and John Maynard Keynes (25 items) and 93 other individuals and institutions all listed. In all 641 items. 136pp. Printed on Basingwerk Parchment. The exhibition closed within ten days of opening because of the outbreak of World War II. This is the first printing with the Reynolds Stone wood engraving to the top cover and the legend 'Complimentary Copy' printed to the top right hand corner, indicating that it is one of a short run of copies printed for distribution to lenders and others who assisted with the exhibition. This copy was owned by Arthur Tillotson of Cambridge University Library whose assistance in the preparation of the exhibition is credited in the list of acknowledgments on page viii at the conclusion of which it is noted: 'As the catalogue goes to press, it has been reluctantly decided to close the Exhibition, owing to the increased danger of damage from air-raids.' Tillotson's inked signature is on the front cover. In the subsequent reprint of July the circumstances obtaining at the time are described as follows: 'As this catalogue was about to go to press, a sudden change in the war situation made it appear advisable to close the Exhibition when it had been opened only ten days. The catalogue was printed off, nevertheless, so that copies might be sent to all who had helped and others be available for sale. The demand proved greater than had been expected and this reprint was put in hand in which a few errors and oversights have been made good.' Minor wear to the original blue wrappers otherwise a firm, clean copy. Both printings are uncommon in any condition. This first printing in the 'Complimentary Copy' state is particularly scarce.
