About This Item
London & Glasgow: Collins Clear-Type Press., No Date [circa 1915]. Full Leather. Very Good. 16mo, small upright oblong format, 40 mm wide x 106 mm tall x 4 mm thick. Bound in the publisher's original limp suede with an inlaid border in blind, gilt titles on spine, all edges gilt. 60 pp, double-page colour frontispiece. Text block pulled very slightly from binding, endpapers cracking & slightly chipped, but overall a very good and completely intact copy. Bound in a very strange reverse oblong format (tall & skinny), almost a miniature book (or, indeed a miniature book, depending on your criteria). No copies are recorded on-line or in Worldcat - certainly a scarce book.
