This book was issued in a trade edition, a 1500-copy signed edition, and this version (seemingly the scarcest of the three), printed on thin India paper and bound in limp leather, with a slipcase. This copy is signed by Woollcott at the top of the front free endpaper. Near fine, with light sunfading to the spine and minor wear to the extremities. The slipcase is near fine, with just a bit of scuffing to the black paper covering.

FYI: Woollcott is spelled with two "l"s. Nice site and nice-looking shop. I must drop in if I ever get up there.
