Whittington, London: The Whittington Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1973. Limited/Numbered Signed Edition. Hardcover. The original glue on the tipped in prospectus and frontispiece was acidic, had darkened, and bled through both pieces. Some wrinkling to the leaf where the frontis was reattached. Offsetting to title page from original glue of the frontis. Tiny dark spot to front endpaper. Small spotting to pages 24, 25, 55.; Largely a witty memoir of John St. John's time with the British Royal Marines in European theaters of World War II. His account of time in service highlights the ludicrous aspects of military life and the boring futility of tramping around Europe without enemy engagement.

St. John also notes individuals and situations that were prototypes for what…

Light toning to the very edges of the boards, common to this edition.; A selection of verse fragments from John Greenleaf Whittier's classic Snow-Bound : A Winter Idyl. Printer Tommy Tommasini chose fragments that described scenes that the family in this narrative poem would have witnessed. Whittier's poem, in total, describes a family's conversations inside a snowed-in New England farmhouse. The verse fragments are accompanied by the linoleum engravings of Czech-born artist George Kuthan. His Prague and Paris studies in graphic arts, printmaking, and painting served him in Canada where he taught printmaking at university level, and incorporated etching and both wood- and linoleum-engraving into his graphic arts and books. His works in this book are sympathetic to the verse fragments and are boldly styled. One of an unnumbered,…
