About This Item
Thomas B. Mosher, Portland, 1922. Early Edition. Hardcover (Half Leather). Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. Various authors. Amphora, Portland: Thomas Mosher, 1922. Duodecimo, fourth edition of 925 copies, pp. xvi, 190, 1 (colophon), marbled paper-covered boards half-bound in brown morocco with gilt lettering to spine, five raised bands, brown stamping to resemble a stitched binding, former owner's name on free front endpaper, sticker ghost on rear paste-down. Selections from more than 100 authors here -- I can't fathom why Mosher brought them together like this, except that publishers have to publish something. His own explanation in the foreword is: "It is a blended vintage drawn from many sorts of literary grapes, but it is my own, and I can only trust my taste will be shared by others." Condition of this book; Rubbed at joints and edges, overall very good and sound. Size: Duodecimo. Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. All edges clean, neat and free of foxing. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Literature & Literary; United States; 1920s; Antiquarian & Rare. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 55471. .
