Book Description
[Oakland]: Seraphim Press, 1951.. Quarto. Full goat vellum, ribbon ties. Illustrated with woodcuts by Mary Fabilli. Fine. First edition. One of two hundred copies set and printed by hand in American Uncial type on Tovil handmade paper by Everson, although fewer than one hundred copies were bound and the majority of the remaining sheets were destroyed by Everson. This copy bears Everson's early presentation inscription to notable California printer Lawton Kennedy from about the time of publication. He inscribed it again on the colophon in 1958, as Brother Antoninus, and that recipient made a small note regarding it's entry into the world again, in 1985, "with love." Finally, both Everson and Fabilli have inscribed it again, on the half-title, in 1985. A well travelled copy of one of the major works of American fine printing of its era. BARTLETT & CAMPO A11.
