first edition Pamphlet
1940 · New York
by Jackson, Joseph Henry; A. A. Milne
New York: The Limited Editions Club, 1940. Pamphlet. Pp.3-15 of 30p., seven b&w illustrations, softbound in stapled pamphlet form fastened into 9x6 inch printed wraps. Covers a bit toned and edgeworn with dust-soil along the spinefold, an otherwise clean sound copy. Noteworthy essays all; in particular, we find much on the mss and publishing history of The Wind in the Willows by a writer in much the same business as Kenneth Grahame; Milne in fact so taken with it he admits he feels he himself wrote it. Number 1 of a new series, Booklets for Bookmen. (Inventory #: 210421)
