Quarto. 53pp. Printed for the Book Club of California by Edwin and Robert Grabhorn. Tipped-in is a leaf from the Polycronicon, with a rubricated initial at the verso. It contains a passage on Christ's nativity and coming of age, a version of that which also appears in The Golden Legend. Accompanying text is The Life and Works of William Caxton, with an historical reminder of fifteenth century England by Benjamin P. Kurtz, together with a note on the Polycronicon by Oscar Lewis and an appreciation of William Caxton by Edwin Grabhorn. Expected offsetting from leaf, marginal foxing, some pale shelf sunning to boards, spine likewise foxed, else very good in quarter cloth and printed henna boards, which display Caxton's well-known printer's device, with paper label to spine.
