Edition. Chapters 2 & 3 of Genesis from the Old Testament. Folio (13- 
1/8" x 16-1/8") bound in quarter blue patterned cloth and light 
blue-gray Fabriano paper boards (without label on front cover). 
Designed, illustrated with ORIGINAL WOOD ENGRAVINGS, and hand-printed on 
double-fold Japanese Masa paper by Michael McCurdy, his first 
commercially produced book. The colophon states that the book was 
produced in 1965-1966, but there is a small engraved Hillside Press logo 
with the 1967 date pasted below that. The entire edition consisted of 
only 20 copies, of which 15 were for sale. This copy has a Penmaen Press 
envelope containing a typed description of the book: "This book is 
without label on front panel. Colophon says HILLSIDE PRESS, pasted over 
PENDEL PRESS imprint. 1965-6." Also noted in pencil on this paper is 
that this copy is one of four in McCurdy's possession. With the 
bookplate of noted press collector Carl Sutton on the front pastedown.
