SPENSER,  Edmund. THE FAERIE QUEENE. DISPOSED INTO  TWELVE  BOOKES
FASHIONING  XII  MORALL VERTUES. Oxford: Limited Editions  Club  1953.
Two  large  quarto volumes (7-3/4" x 11-3/4") bound in  gilt-decorated
green  cloth  and illustrated with pen decorations by John Austen  and
wood  engravings by Agnes Miller Parker. Copy #1185 of 1500 SIGNED  by
Parker  on  the  colophon  page.  A  nicely  printed  set  beautifully
illustrated.   The  uncommon  dustwrappers  are   present  as  is  the
slipcase.  The  spines  of the dustwrappers have just a touch  of  the
sunning  and none of the foxing on the panels usually found with  this
title.  The  slipcase is near pristine. A lovely set of this,  one  of
the  underrated  books  of the press. Monthly Letter  laid  in.  Small
university  bookplate  on each front pastedown. Fine in close to  Fine
dustwrappers and Fine slipcase.                                $500.00
