COOPER,  James  Fenimore.  THE LAST OF  THE  MOHICANS.  New  York:
Limited  Editions  Club 1932. Quarto (7-1/2" x 10-5/8") bound in  half

Edward  Everett Hale. Designed by Will Ransom. Illustrated with  color
drawings  by  Edward  Wilson. Copy #812 of 1500 copies SIGNED  by  the
illustrator.  An  unusual binding, rarely seen on a book  and  usually
used  to  make  gloves, the buckskin is very susceptible to  wear  and
scratching  and is seldom found in nice condition. This copy is better
than  average  with a few light scratches to the spine. Bookplates  on
front  pastedown. Some wear to slipcase backstrip. Near Fine in a Very
Good slipcase.                                                 $250.00
