About This Item
London: O.T.O., 1937. 4to, v, 137 + [1] pp, + [65] facsimile manuscript sheets laid in at rear, with errata slip tipped in facing p. [138] listing 17 items. With cancel slip to title page changing the date to 1937, with the High Holborn address. Fore edges of text untrimmed. All sheets laid into the card folder which was printed to hold the facsimile sheets.
Though not marked as such, from the library of Gerrit Lansing.
An unusual state, which matches most points of the Subscriber's edition, which had been limited to 250 copies. However, this copy is not bound in orange paper boards, as usually found, but instead consists of loose sheets laid into a folder which bears the same printed cover as that used to hold the smaller facsimile sheets. The Comment is printed inside the back of the folder.
The folder is darkened and chipped at extremities, and cracked and nearly separated at the spine for about half of its height, with a large chip missing from the upper margin of back panel, and with several closed tears. The interior sheets are lightly toned, heavier to the facsimile sheets, which show some fraying and chipping to the margins of several of the sheets. A well-used example.
