First edition. Small 4to., a very good copy in original quarter vellum, lettered in black, pale brown boards, uncut and unopened. London, Printed at the Chiswick Press for the Hammersmith Publishing Society, 1902.
Cobden-Sanderson on his soap box, yelling in apparent frustration that “the idea to be communicated by the book comes first, as the thing of supreme importance”, emphasizing and re-emphasizing that “the Book Beautiful…should be conceived as a whole”.Spine a trifle darkened and some very mild rubbing to very edges of boards, otherwise a good, clean copy. Booklabel on front pastedown.
