No. 109 in a deluxe limited edition of 200 copies only. Quarto, pp. vi, [4], 498, xi Index. 21 plates as called for including frontispiece of Cragside with tissue guard, plus numerous line drawings in text (an additional 8 extra illustrations which do not appear in the regular edition). Quarter calf with green cloth-covered boards, expertly recased with original spine laid-on; gilt titles to spine and upper board; top edge gilt; marbled endpapers. Original spine lightly creased with wear at tips; boards a little scuffed with rubbed edges and minor wear at bruised corners. Limitation label to front paste-down; no annotation or inscriptions. Endpapers, text-block edge and frontispiece tissue guard (not frontispiece itself) lightly foxed, otherwise a clean bright copy. Overall Very Good. A good example of the scarce de-luxe edition. Heavyweight, so a contribution towards increased postage costs will be requested for overseas delivery. £325.00
