The turn of the 20th century brought with it a plethora of collections of literature published for the middle class, at a variety of price points. Some were well built books designed to last for centuries--Oxford University Press, for example. Others were sturdy, and would survive well if reasonably cared for, like the Modern Library. And then there were some fine press offers, that came a little later. William Macy put out two, The Limited Editions Society followed by the Heritage Press. Most of the titles issued by Limited Editions were later published by the Heritage Press in slightly less impressive bindings and treatments. Heritage Press was a subscription service, and came with a small booklet describing the various fine points of the book: the paper used, the typography and setting; which presses were chosen for the work and so on. The best illustrators of the day were chosen to illustrate. Little wonder, then, that 60 years and more on, these books are still collected. Tight, clean, crisp, sharp, flat book with sunned spine in slipcase with no notable flaws.. Sandglass VI: 25 laid in.
