Copy 316 of 755 (900) bound in stiff maroon card covers, outer wrapper of grey paper with title printed in red and black to the front and spine.

This copy distinguished by David Esslemont's signature, which is not normally present. Near Fine (slight fading around the edges of the cover, and a tiny liquid stain near the cover title).

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 31x21cm, 74pp. With forty-one illustrations in various colours taken from Gwasg Gregynog publications, and multiple tipped-in specimens. Copy 769 of 100 (900) bound in quarter-grey leather with gilt rule over grey paper-covered boards, title in gilt to backstrip with red dot, in a slipcase of pale taupe cloth-covered boards with wooden edges, grey leather to head and foot of entry, later inscription by David Esslemont in ink dated 15 November MM below the colophon, press compliments card laid-in. Gwasg Gregynog's 'Descriptive Catalogue' is an elegant and most generous production, well-known for representing outstanding value for money in its standard edition in card covers. However, it really deserved a more substantial hardback binding, and this scarce special limitation addresses that need, transforming the book into something altogether more luxurious (without having to consider the the stratospheric heights of the 'designer' special binding limitation of 25 copies). This copy is further distinguished by David Esslemont's personal inscription and signature below the colophon. The Catalogue is an essential reference for understanding the modern revival of the Press and its achievements although the continuing absence of a second volume covering the post-1990 years is keenly felt. Fine (in fact Mint) with a Good (entirely sound and unworn but with a few tiny marks and an old liquid stain at the foot, of which there is no trace in the interior, neither of course to the book).
