Published by the Nonesuch Press, who specialised in limited edition and private press works. They were founded by Francis Meynell, his second wife Vera Mendel and their friend David Garnett. Their aspiration was for their publications to be aligned with the same aesthetic standards as the private press movement. They were unusual as they used a small Albion press to design the books, but had them printed by commercial printers. In doing so, books with the quality of a fine-press were produced, but available to a wider audience at lower prices.
CONDITION
In the publisher's original cloth binding, with unclipped dust wrapper. Back strip head and tail lightly age toned, otherwise externally excellent. Dust wrapper lightly age toned to back strip, with a touch of edgewear to back strip head. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright.
