Mit eigenhändiger Signatur Bestermans im Kolophon. Nummer 37 von 300 handschriftlich numerierten und signierten Exemplaren. - Collected and catalogued by Theodore Besterman. Typography by Theodore Besterman; set in 16pt and 13pt Poliphilus Romand and Blado Italic. Printed by Vivian Ridler, Printer to the University at the University Press Oxford on specially hand-made paper. Signed and numbered copy (37/300). - "On reading the proofs I am rather sorry to see that I have referred not infrequently to the rarity of this or that book - though not nearly as often as I might have done [...], but I want to make it clear that I have never bought one merely because it is scarce; I do not find rarity any attraction in itself. [...] Prospective burglars should note that all these books contain my bookplate" (Besterman, prevace, vi). - Minimal berieben und bestoßen; gutes Exemplar auf frischem Papier.
