About This Item
Newtown, Montgomeryshire: Gregynog Press, 1939. full green morocco with onlaid designs by Paul Nash incorporating Shaw's initials and having different designs on the front and back in orange morocco - a signed Gregynog binding. Gregynog Press. tall 8vo. full green morocco with onlaid designs by Paul Nash incorporating Shaw's initials and having different designs on the front and back in orange morocco - a signed Gregynog binding. [xi] 188, [1] pages. Limited to 300 numbered copies. (Harrop, Zilverdistel no.40). Frontispiece portrait of Shaw by John Farleigh. Head of spine worn, with some scattered wear to spine. General shelfwear. Boards somewhat bowed. As is common with this title there is offsetting from the leather turn-ins to the front and rear endpaper edges. Edges of preliminary pages show small tears, else the interior is in fine condition. With the bookplate of Robin Satinsky on the front pastedown. Printed in Baskerville type on very pale green hand-made Arnold and Foster paper. Zero fading to boards and spine, which is very common with this title. This book, which is one of the more striking Gregynog Press titles, caused much trouble to everyone involved in its production, mainly because of Shaw's tinkering interference.

About Oak Knoll Books/Oak Knoll Press
Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books. Oak Knoll Books is a thriving company that maintains an inventory of about 20,000 titles. Our main specialties are books about bibliography, book collecting, book design, book illustration, book selling, bookbinding, bookplates, children's books, Delaware books, fine press books, forgery, graphic arts, libraries, literary criticism, marbling, papermaking, printing history, publishing, typography & type specimens, and writing & calligraphy - plus books about the history of all of these fields.
