EDITION : Second Edition SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES : Print run limited to 900 copies, the type being then distributed. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : Small hardcover; contains a Bibliographical Note; has a rubricated title page; 99 pages; 4 3/4" x 7"; mauve paper-covered boards with tile labels on spine and front board, both printed red on buff; the text-block edges are rough-trimmed. Mauve end-papers CONDITION -- GOOD PLUS -- This is a previously owned book which has seen use, and displays that use moderately, the following imperfections and particulars noted; EXTERIOR - The spine extremities are compressed and display chipping and small loss (the foot is crimped); there is evidence of neatly effected mending to the head of the front joint - where the joint had obviously suffered a bit of splitting. There is a small damp stain to the foot of the spine; there are also a couple of other damp stains to the spine, these being considerably vaguer in delineation. On the front board is a narrow, rectangular shadow or impression which seems to be the residue of a label or sticker (why or for what purpose I do not know, but it is visible, and one can just discern it in the pictures provided). The top edge of the text-block is somewhat darkened, else edges are clean. BINDING - The aforementioned mend to the joints, else the binding is nice and tight, although it is obvious that the book has been read. No leaves are detached or loose. INTERIOR - Other than a neatly penciled note from a previous dealer, the book is unmarked, and free of writing or marginalia; there are no signatures.…
