Less were printed than the colophon states, & there were more spoils than expected - & not enough extra sheets to make allowance for it", and another note by him below "I haven't seen this book for over 30 years & it brought back many memories - including those of the hard physical work the printing of such a big book was...", original russet morocco, t.e.g., others uncut, a little rubbed and spotted, spine faded, Fanfrolico Press, 1929, 4to & 8vo (2) ⁂ The first is a scarce Lindsay item; only about half the copies were issued with the woodcuts and of the remaining copies several were destroyed in a fire at the warehouse.
