Limited Editions Club, 1940. First Edition. Bound in half white linen 
and marbled boards. Copy #717 of 2020 copies with an introduction by A.

published in 1908, this is the first publication of this title with 
Rackham's illustrations. Designed by Bruce Rogers, who has SIGNED the 
colophon page, this is the only one of Rackham's major works to be first 
published posthumously, and this edition of the book is the only one to 
include all 16 color illustrations, the trade edition having only 
twelve. Light foxing to first and last few pages; mild soiling to the
