[Charles Agvent]

HARDY, Thomas.
FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD.

Cambridge: Limited Editions Club, 1958. Octavo (6" x 9") bound with a 
natural sheepskin spine and sides covered with paper printed in England 
bearing a design by the illustrator; 424 pages. Introduction by Robert 
Cantwell; book designed by John Dreyfus. Illustrated by Agnes Miller 
Parker with full-page wood engravings and decorations with an additional 
SIGNED engraving loose in an envelope. 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 "H.M." are 
handwritten. Acquired directly from the publisher's files, and most 
likely the publisher Helen Macy's very own copy. Monthly Letter laid in. 
Light rubbing to spine, as often the case with this title. Near Fine in 
a Fine slipcase (Item ID: 016627)
