Small 4to (or tall 8vo) green linen buckram with gilt-lettered spine and gilt-stamped bow design by Eric Gill on front; text on Japon vellum; top edges gilt; 766 pages including appendices. Near fine with light crease to base of spine, minor rubbing to corners, and hint of foxing to endpapers; in about very good dust jacket with internal archival-tape repair to spine ends and corners where old tape was removed (from verso).
