Description
Folio, [vi],44,[2]pp., one of 175 numbered copies, 4 leaves of the original Prayer-book of 1913 tipped-in, half rose-red buckram with salmon paper over boards with Fell ornaments making up geometric design, spine lettered in gilt, uncut, a fine copy in the original slip-case. Peter Fodenís account is in the nature of literary or publishing detection. Packets of unbound sheets came to light in 1989 at the time Oxford University Press was closing down its printing works. There were no known finished copies of the book. The authorís story helps to unravel most of the facts. Whittington has used mould-made paper from a collection of papers acquired from OUP.
