[Rarebooks] FS: Publisher's Copy of THE LITERARY WORKS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN

[Charles Agvent]

LINCOLN, Abraham. THE LITERARY WORKS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Menasha, WI: 
Limited Editions Club, 1942. Quarto (7-1/2" x 10-3/4") bound in full 
butternut muslin with a gold-stamped reddish brown leather spine label, 
320 pages. Introduction and notes by Carl Van Doren; designed by Will 
Ransom. Illustrated with reproductions of watercolors by John Steuart 
Curry. Of a total edition of 1500 copies SIGNED by the artist on the 
colophon page, this is one of only 15 Presentation Copies with the 
publisher's blindstamp attesting to such on the colophon page where 
instead of a number the initials "G.M." are handwritten. Acquired 
directly from the publisher's files, and most likely the publisher 
George Macy's very own copy. An especially interesting copy in that it, 
or at least its title page, appears to have been used as a mock-up for 
the Heritage Press edition with a strip of camera-ready art with that 
publisher's name loosely present having once been glued over the Limited 
Editions Club imprint on the title page with a small stain at the place 
of contact. Mild soiling to the covers and light scratches to the 
leather spine label. Still Near Fine in a Very Good, intact slipcase 
with some wear. (#016635)        $150.00
