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 leather 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 #509 of 1500 
copies SIGNED by the illustrator on the colophon page. The first 
multi-volume set issued by the press. Scarce Monthly Letter laid in. The 
leather on the spine has no wear or rubbing and retains its suppleness; 
the corners are straight and the contents fresh. The slipcases also are 
very nice, completely intact with just a little fading. It is extremely 
difficult to find this set today in anything approaching this condition 
as the leather did not wear well. Fine set in Fine slipcases. 
(#017657)        $2,000.00
