San Francisco: Grabhorn Press, 1930 One of 175 regular copies. Twenty-five special copies privately printed for Herbert Rothschild were also produced.

First, the date on the title page is given as 1383 (instead of 1483) in this copy, which is a printing error shared with the Rothschild copies only, as the error was corrected before the regular edition left the shop. In addition, both this copy and the Rothschild copies have three terminal blanks, as opposed to two in the regular copies.
