[Rarebooks] Curious Binding

[Garry R Austin]

I have been spending the last two days cataloguing Theodore Roosevelt 
ephemera, much of it from the collection of my late dear friend & 
colleague Peter Scanlan. There are numerous prospectuses for editions of 
TR sets etc. Many in the trade are familiar with that six volume set of 
TR's "The Winning Of The West" published by the Current Literature 
Company; duodecimo vols in khaki cloth with leather spines that are 
rarely found in really nice condition.

In the "you are never too old to learn department", I submit this from 
the Sales Lit.... "in an edition de luxe, bound in khaki and ooze 
leather, the color and texture of buckskin".

"Ooze Leather" ........

I checked Carter's "ABC" not listed
