MELVILLE, Herman. MOBY DICK. [Brattleboro, VT]: Limited Editions Club,
1943. Two quarto volumes (7-1/2" x 10") bound in full dark sheepskin
with gilt lettering on the spines. Copy #323 of 1000 with color and
black-and-white plates after paintings by Boardman Robinson and SIGNED
by the artist on the colophon page. One of the most difficult books of
the press to obtain in decent condition because of the tendency of the
leather to dry. When copies are seen, usually the binding is so dry it
is crumbling. The limitation of 1000 copies is not stated, nor is the
typical limitation of 1500 copies stated, but a letter from the
publisher, George Macy, to a subscriber in another copy we handled
explained the limitation (not included here). The leather is still
supple though the spines are somewhat dry with wear to the tips and
edges. Good, lacking the slipcase. (#019429) $500.00
