1932003859Paris: Editions Mornay 1932. Limited Edition. Full Decorated Calf. Very Good. 8vo. 20 by 15.5 cm. 329 pp. Original wraps bound in. Since there is no number to this copy it is presumed this was one of the 55 copies produced "hors commerce". Regardless the full calf binding is special with its watercolor cameo centerpiece of a sailboat on the front the floral vignette on the back and portrait of Shelley on the spine. Alas the calf is heavily rubbed along the joints with starting by the lower rear joint and the spine is darkened and heavily rubbed. Inside the book is clean and fresh with the color illustrations uniformly a delight. <br/><br/> Editions Mornay unknown books
