What a beautiful book! The bite of the letterpress is impressive, it looks like you could feel every letter of the title page from the back side. The marbled paper is very impressive, as is the type layout. Especially page 30!

Wonderful every which way you look at this book! Over the years I have bought three copies of this and still own two of them. The prose is marvellous too!

Only that I assume this was his copy and he used the stamp as a bookplate.

One of the very finest of the George Macy LECs, at all levels. Zhenya Gay's illustrations are amongst the mot successful of LECs and add immensely to the text.
