New York: The Colophon, Ltd, 1931. Hard Cover. Good binding. Quarto. Limited edition, one of 3000 copies. Bound as issued in printed paper over boards. Milne's etching is present. Lightly rubbed some wear to the joints, though it remains a solid copy; minor dampstaining to the top corner of the spine and boards, a stain that carries into the textblock, visible in the top, inner margin of most leaves including the Milne etching; library stamp at the top of the front free endpaper and title page being the only indication that this is ex-library.

While Milne's signed, "Hilltop: A Drypoint in Two Colors" is what makes this such a collected issue of The Colophon, there is a wealth of material including but not limited to essays by Charles Chesnutt, A Edward Newton, and Frederick Goudy, as well as a bibliography of the illustrations of Rudolph Ruzicka by William A Kittredge.
