Description

Hardcover, bound in genuine red leather, elaborately stamped in gold. 935 pages. Introduction by Lionel Trilling. Text edited and revised by Gustavus Spett and the translation revised by Bernard Guilbert Guerney. Illustrated with color frontispiece of the author, especially commissioned for this edition. A quality Easton Press production with all the refinements that go to make this a truly fine binding: bound in satin ribbon marker, silk moire fabric end papers, all edges gilt, raised spine, 22kt gold stamping, smyth-sewn binding, acid free archival paper and full genuine leather binding. Collector’s Edition, from The Easton Press collection of “The Greatest Books Ever Written”. Previous owner’s small round blind-stamp on lower edge of half-title page and slight loss to gilt at bottom edge and even less so to fore-edge. A handsome, tight, clean and fresh copy. Very good+.
