Harper Woods, MI: The Adagio Press, 1969. First Edition. 54pp. Folio [38 cm] 1/4 vellum over decorative paper boards with the title gilt stamped on the backstrip. Near fine. Two (different) private bookplates on the front pastedown. This edition was limited to 242 numbered copies containing two original Doves Press leaves on handmade paper, this is copy 29. Printed in three colors on handmade paper. Mounted photograph laid in as issued.
As stated by Tony Bliss, Norman Strouse's great "fascination with T.J. Cobden-Sanderson as both printer and binder led him to collect all of the Doves imprints, to expand into the collecting of the work of the Doves Bindery, the personal bindings of Cobden-Sanderson, the bindings of Cobden-Sanderson's pupils, and the work of binders influenced by the master. To bolster this collection and make it a truly great resource for research, he acquired manuscripts and correspondence of Cobden-Sanderson. Norman used this collection in the writing of two works: C-S The Master Craftsman and A Letter from Stella.
