Text printed on Zerkall mouldmade paper; bound by Campbell-Logan Bindery. Berger begins with essays on the Tindales and the production of their 1952 work of the same name and which, according to publisher Henry Morris, "is arguably the finest all-around work on Japanese handmade paper" (Forty-Four Years of Bird & Bull A66). This new material is followed by a reprint of the Tindale work, which includes a foreword by Dard Hunter. In addition to the tipped-in paper samples, many of which are full-page, including the Tindale half-titles on Japanese paper, Tindale's work also includes numerous photographs, drawings and some Japanese watermarked paper. Number 111 of 170 copies. Probably the most elaborate production of the Bird & Bull Press, and one of its most desirable. A very fine/as new copy. N° de ref. del artículo 4940
