The binding design is by David Pearson and has been executed by the Sigloch Buchbinderei in Blaufelden Germany. Printed by Cambridge University Press on Oxenford twin-wire laid paper made at the James Cropper Mill at Burneside in Cumbria. A fine copy presenting as new with just a few light surface marks to the slipcase. A beautifully produced facsimile of this landmark in the history of printing. This 2008 reprint of the 2002 limited edition Folio Society facsimile described as an 'unlimited' edition although now out of print reproduces in extraordinary detail and quality the most ambitious and magnificent book to be produced by William Morris' legendary Kelmscott Press described by W. B. Yeats as "the most beautiful of all printed books". Edward Burne-Jones called it "a pocket cathedral it is so full of design" and "the finest book ever printed; if W. M. had done nothing else it would be enough". Burne-Jones devoted all his Sundays for almost three years to the work and Morris came to talk with him as he drew. As the artist worked he increased the number of proposed illustrations from 48 to 60 to 72 to 87 and Morris accepted each change. The process of adapting the drawings to the woodblock and engraving them was entrusted to W. H. Hooper and R. Catterson-Smith with Burne-Jones closely supervising every detail. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers. London: The Folio Society. 2008 hardcover

15612210201London: John Kyngston for John Wight 1561. Fifth. hardcover. Very good. First issue of the 1561 Stowe edition. Very good in contemporary covers and recent leather spine with gold lettering. Probable first issue of the Stowe Edition with Chaucer's arms dated 1560 and before woodcut additions. As for the differences between the Stowe issues David R. Carlson "The Woodcut Illustrations in Early Printed Editions of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales" in Chaucer Illustrated: Five Hundred Years of The Canterbury Tales in Pictures British Library 2003 states "the most plausible explanation seems to be that the printer and publisher of the Stowe edition came into possession of the woodcuts belatedly after most of the press work for the edition had been done. After obtaining the blocks they ran up a new issue of the beginning of the book incorporating a "General Prologue" illustrated with woodcut. In all documented cases the unillustrated i.e. first"General Prologue" occurs with a title page showing the Chaucer arms dated 1560 at the top of the shield. A different title-page dated 1561 is found in copies incorporating the woodcut illustrated General Prologue." A handsome complete copy without loss of text beautifully printed in fifty-six line two-column black-letter Gothic. The 1561 Stowe edition is probably the one known to William Shakespeare and Edmund Spenser. Folio. More photos available upon request. John Kyngston for John Wight unknown
