Riccardi Press Le Morte Dathurt

This seems interesting for those, like me, who find limp vellum too fragile:

Rebound in vellum over wooden boards. Always wanted a copy of this, just never found a price I'm willing to pay.

No association with the consignor.

I made an embarrassing little noise when I saw those bindings. Alas, out of my reach.

The wooden boards are probably even more of a treasure than the vellum. Quite rare, I think.

EDIT: Here's a fascinating book title from the same lot: "Mushrooms, Russia and History" by an 'ethnomycologist', which was a word I had not expected to encounter.

Looks fantastic. The Mushroom-- the true shape of the cosmos?

>4 -Ophidian-: "Ethnomycology" is indeed a sweet sweet word :)
