About This Item
(Lewisburg, PA): Press of Appletree Alley, 1984. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Small quarto, 55pp., illustrated by Rosalyn Richards. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, with some foxing to the top edge (only), and the spine just a tinge sun-faded. Internally lovely. This is one of 115 limited copies SIGNED by Balakina, Smith, and Richards on the limitation page (another 15 copies were printed on different paper, and were hors-commerce). Laid-in is an original prospectus for the volume, along with a Christmas greeting card from the publisher. A scarce volume, one of Balakian's earliest efforts, and uncommon in the trade.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
