Some Limericks, Norman Douglas
First edition, American subscribers' issue, of Douglas's bawdy anthology, presented with deliberately mock-scholarly apparatus: an introduction, geographical index, and explanatory and critical notes. One of 750 numbered copies, of which 350 were reserved for English collectors and 400 for American collectors, this is copy number 69.
[No place]: Privately printed, 1928. Original orange cloth, lettered in gilt on the upper board and spine; pp. 96. The limitation states that the book was issued to subscribers only, was not for sale, and that the type had been distributed. Final numbered page 96. Approximately 9 inches tall, printed on yellow-tinted glazed laid paper. About very good. Binding firm and sturdy, minor wear to boards with scattered sunning and staining. Traces of foxing and thumbsoiling, else internally clean. An attractive copy of an uncommon privately printed work.
