About This Item

[n.p., Laguna Beach: Laguna Verde Imprenta, 1982] One of "around sixty copies" printed by Ward Ritchie. Blue Cockerel paper wrappers. 6 x 8. Color-printed initials and two abstract vignettes. With "A Footnote to the Loves of MA" leaf laid in. Toning to first and last leaf and some offsetting from the initials and vignettes. A near fine copy. Ritchie's reminiscences of Merle Armitage (1893-1975), book designer, publisher, art collector, and theatre designer and executive. Armitage, who was born in Mason City, Iowa and began his career in New York, spent many years in Los Angeles, and was part of a circle which included Ritchie, Jake Zeitlin, and Lawrence Clark Powell. This is probably the longest publication of Ritchie's Laguna Verde Imprenta.

About Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
