Oscar Weil Letters and Papers
1923209953San Francisco: Printed by the Grabhorn Press for The Book Club of California 1923. Hardcover. xv 119p. plus an unpaginated list of compositions. Rubricated letterpress on laid-lined paperstock with blue initials at chapter heads hardbound in 11.5x7.5 inch brown paper over boards with black buckram spine and printed red spine and cover labels. The somewhat pedestrian casing belies a textblock with a wonderful limp feel; no.304 of 400 copies. Covers are somewhat worn the black spine slightly dim with a little color loss at head and tail spine label is faded to pink and nearly illegible cover label is edgeworn and dim corners are turned with card showing at the lower tips. There is pronounced ripple to many signatures although the casing is perfectly square; the frontis photo tissue-guarded has not aged well: no impacts to it but its surface has developed a glare; front hinge is partially cracked a four-inch-long gap. A good-only copy. Mr. Weil's prose is quite lively as an aside. Printed by the Grabhorn Press for The Book Club of California hardcover books
