English Binding Before 1500
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1929. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Item #9092
Folio. [12], 58, [2] pp., plates, illus. First edition, one of 500 copies. This copy initialed and presented by Hobson on the half title. In publisher's cloth; top edge gilt. 58 plates, all present; numerous in-text illustrations. Lacking the dust jacket. Only light rubbing to corners and spine ends; binding a trifle cocked; tasteful bookplate on the front pastedown and two small penciled check-marks in the margins, else clean. A very nice copy of an important study of early and gothic bindings by one of the eminent bookbinding historians. Uncommon, particularly as a presentation copy.
