[Charles Agvent]

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. 		$2,500.00
