About This Item
Charleston, SC: n.p., 1998. (8) pp. Approximately 2 1/4 x 2 7/8". Chocolate brown wrappers, stitched, five black and white photographs of William M. Cheney. A fine copy. From the Colophon: In 1993 just before Wiliam M. Cheney gave up printing, we asked him to write and print an Autobiography in miniature. It turned out different than we expected. Modestly he omitted an account of his notable printing career. William chose to use only eight of the thirteen illustrations by George Kinney. Now in 1998 the missing portraits are issued as a keepsake for the Miniature Book Society 16th Grand Conclave
