[Rarebooks] Fine Printing of Whittier's SNOW-BOUND

[Charles Agvent]

WHITTIER, John Greenleaf. SNOW-BOUND. A WINTER IDYL. New Haven: Limited 
Editions Club, 1930. Quarto (7-1/8" x 11-3/8") bound in quarter navy 
blue moire cloth stamped in silver with delicate marbled paper boards in 
shades of gray and blue. Imaginatively designed by Carl P. Rollins and 
printed by the Yale University Press. The fourth book of the press. Of a 
total edition of 1500 copies SIGNED by the designer 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 the printed 
number "257" is struck through and the initials "G.M." are handwritten. 
Acquired directly from the publisher's files, and most likely the 
publisher George Macy's very own copy. Minor wear to spine tips and 
corners, lacking the uncommon dustwrapper. Still Near Fine in a close to 
Fine slipcase. (#016604)        $125.00
