About This Item
London: The Folio Society, 1981. Hardcover. As New. 24mo 5" - 6" tall. Tony Evora. Another fine contribution to the stable of Folio Society publications, this being published in London in 1981, edited from Anne Hughes' "Boke" by Mollie Preston and augmented greatly by the arresting linocuts of Tony Evora. Virtually pristine copy inside and out, housed in the simple concave fore-edged slipcase with only trivial wear thereto. Apparently unread, spine still crackles.' The item takes up the question as to the authenticity of "boke" itself, either as fabricated social history or as clever forgery.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
