About This Item
Boston: The Bibliophile Society, 1903. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Very good. Quarto, Limited wition of 483 sets bound in green and ivory paper over boards. Each with a frontis with an etching by W.H.W. Bicknell after a painting by Howard Pyle. A light abrasion on front cover of volume 4 otherwise a very good sound set. Laid into volume 1 is a unique disclaimer from the printer indicating a misprint on one page and the determined to be a misprint by members of the 'Council' in charge of the printing. He goes on to dramatize the comic decisions made by the printers, proof readers and editor. Inspite of this it still slipped through the cracks and "idioddities" went topress. The errata is printed on Bibliophile Society watermarked paper.
