Two folio volumes. xiii, 268; x, 256pp. Printed in red and black in double columns with floriated initials by Louise Powell. This book marks the first appearance of "Ptolemy" type and is one of the most impressive productions of the Ashendene Press. Colin Franklin writes "Of [Hornby's] grand works, Don Quixote in two folio volumes may be preferred; easier to read and turn pages of prose, and very fine in his later type with Louise Powell's initials." In the full white pigskin binding by W.H. Smith; spine shows light, uniform toning, minimal soiling to covers. Overall, about fine, housed in cloth folding cases.  (Hornby, XXXVI).
