THE WOOD-ENGRAVINGS OF ROBERT GIBBINGS.

With some recollections by the artist. Edited by Patience Empson. Introduction by Thomas Balston. [Publisher's dummy copy]. Pp. xliv, plus tinted frontispiece, 8 black & white plates and 48 pages mainly of illustrations by Gibbings, but including a few blanks; demy 4to; black cloth, lettered and decorated in gilt, slightly flecked and a trifle scuffed, cloth slightly bubbled near top edge of upper board; edges of leaves a trifle foxed; J. M. Dent & Sons, London, 1959. Publisher's dummy copy [for display to booksellers]. *Includes many of the illustrations from the published version, but not all of the text. Loosely inserted is a 1960 advertisement for the book, possibly torn from a publisher's catalogue. The published book contained approximately 400 pages (including the illustrations), and the width of the spine in this copy reflects those dimensions. To compensate, the lower board of this copy is narrower than the published version. Item #126625
