Five sets, each individually lettered, were hand-bound by the world-famous designer binder, Michael Wilcox, and signed, etc. as above. The bindings used red and black morocco with onlays, but with a different center onlay on each cover, gilt, velvet-lined cloth slipcase. Of the five sets three are now in institutional libraries, and we are retaining one for our permanent collection. Therefore only one set remains for sale.
