Lettered Edition, 26 Copies
5½" x 7½"

The Lettered edition is limited to 26 copies and is a full goatskin binding featuring haptic leather onlays across the front and back boards. The leather is sourced from J. Hewit & Sons; the historic leather merchant which was founded in 1823 and continues to manufacture the finest quality leathers for bookbinding. Head & tail bands are leather and the endsheets are paste papers handmade by Marie Kelzer for this edition.

The edition is housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in Dubletta cloth with suede lined floors and a leather spine label. This state is printed letterpress on Barcham Green Dover handmade paper. Barcham Green at the Hayle Mill in Kent was a long-established hand papermaker whose papers were considered amongst the very best. The papers used to print this edition were made in 1982, just before the mill closed. The edition is signed by R.C. Matheson and Vladimir Zimakov.
