[Charles Agvent]

We have recently posted on our home page and elsewhere 175 new Limited 
Editions Club acquisitions including Original Art for some of the books; 
publisher's, office, and proof copies of the books; and books still in 
their original shipping containers, as well as some high points of the 
press.  Here is an example.

BIGGERS, John [ANGELOU, Maya]. FIVE LITHOGRAPHS for OUR GRANDMOTHERS. 
[New York]: [Limited Editions Club], [1994]. First Edition. Large folio 
consisting of 5 lithographs and the title and colophon pages. For her 
favorite poem, originally published in I SHALL NOT BE MOVED, Angelou 
chose the internationally acclaimed African-American printmaker John 
Biggers to illustrate a book published by the Limited Editions Club in 
an edition of only 400 numbered copies signed by both the author and the 
artist. It was one of the largest-format books (17-3/4" x 22") ever 
issued by the club. This is the separate portfolio of 5 numbered 18" x 
24" lithographs, all individually SIGNED by the artist, laid in a large 
cloth clamshell box with the artist's name lettered in black on the 
front. This is set #58 of only 60 sets in addition to about a dozen 
various proof copies. Fine in a Fine cloth clamshell box. (#016644) 
$6,000.00
