 From our newly updated catalog of LIMITED EDITIONS CLUB books and 
ephemera containing 601 items:

ANGELOU, Maya (John BIGGERS). OUR GRANDMOTHERS. New York:  Limited
Editions  Club  (1994). First Edition. Large folio bound  in  Japanese
linen.  For her favorite poem, originally published in I SHALL NOT  BE
MOVED,  Angelou  chose the internationally acclaimed  African-American
printmaker  John  Biggers who contributes five  ORIGINAL  LITHOGRAPHS.
Copy  #40  of only 400 numbered copies SIGNED by both the  author  and
the  artist  on the colophon page, this is one of  the  largest-format
books  (17-3/4"  x 22") ever issued by the club. It is bound  by  hand
with  the  linen  dyed  the  hue of  red  Georgia  clay.  The  unusual
appearance  of the hand-made paper used for the text is the result  of
a  special  formula composed of rags and cotton by Dan Keleher at  the
Wild  Carrot Press created for this edition. Fine in a Fine  clamshell
box.                                                          $2500.00
