Description

Fine bindings for the English author

Uncommon ALS, one page, 8 x 10, Combe Florey House letterhead, April 6, 1965. Interesting letter to a bookbinder. In part: “Thank you for the copy of A Little Learning exquisitely bound as always. I am very sorry about the other copies. When you say ‘reside’ how large an area do you intend to recover? If it is feasible, I should like small panels inlayed…These to be framed with the same key pattern tool used on the raised bands. It might took well to use green leather and to letter the front panels ‘Corrected by the Author’ for there are numerous misprints that need attention before the volumes can be presented. If ‘reside’ means the whole extent of the sides it should be in the same leather as the spine. In that case no lettering.” In fine condition, with a light diagonal crease to the upper left corner. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
