Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. First edition. With remarks on the bindings by Michael Wilcox and on the books by Elaine Smyth and W. Thomas Taylor. Slim folio, measuring approximately 9¼" x 14". Illustrated from color photographs of the 12 bindings, as printed illustrations. Final leaf of text with a bit of corner creasing, still a fine copy. 210 copies of this edition were published; 200 in boards and 10 bound by Michael Wilcox and with Cibachrome prints instead of traditional color plates. This copy is unnumbered (and with the regular color plates), and finely bound in a textured mosaic of magenta leather with a pattern of embossed and debossed rectangles, and a repeating motif on the front pastedown. The small blindstamp near the spine base says "DSE" (or some arrangement thereof). We have been unable to determine the identity of the binder, but they are obviously quite accomplished. In a fine, unmarked clothcovered clamshell case.
