Bound in quarter maroon Nigerian goatskin over matching marble paper covered boards . Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid (you will notice that the text block has a yapped edge close to the spine; that's how they bound the book there are no missing pages). This example of Poe's classic tale was printed by the Anthoensen Press on mould-made paper, designed by Ben Shiff and hand-set by Michael and Winifred Bixler. The bound copies were bound by John Isakovics in hand-marbled paper by Faith Harrison.
