[Charles Agvent]

BURTON, Sir Richard [translator]. THE BOOK OF A THOUSAND NIGHTS AND A 
NIGHT. A Plain and Literal Translation of the Arabian Nights 
Entertainments. New York: Limited Editions Club, 1934. Six octavo 
volumes (5-3/4" x 9-1/4") bound in half natural cowhide and printed 
paper sides designed by Valenti Angelo. The unabridged translation 
complete with notes and index by Sir Richard Burton. Illustrated with 
1001 drawings by Valenti Angelo. Copy #83 of 1500 SIGNED by the 
illustrator on the colophon page. The first multi-volume set issued by 
the press. The leather on the spine has very little wear with only minor 
rubbing to a few spots and retains its suppleness. It is very difficult 
to find this set today in anything approaching this condition as the 
leather did not wear well. Two slipcases are Very Good; the third has 
cloth tape repairs to the edges. Announcement card laid in. Near Fine 
set in Good to Very Good slipcases. (#015007)        $1,000.00
