Limited Editions Club Our Grandmothers by Maya Angelou 12/400 Signed 1994

I'm quite pleased to possess and now to present for sale this exquisite and rather impressive First Edition, Limited Edition "Our Grandmothers" authored by Maya Angelou. From her book "I Shall Not Be Moved". And produced by the highly esteemed Limited Editions Club of New York in 1994. This is #12 of 400 made and is signed on the colophon by the most glorious Maya Angelou herself and the great African-American artist/muralist John Biggers, who contributed five (5) spectacular original lithographs to this incredible book.

As new 17.5" x 22" elephant folio [28 pp]. In full red Japanese linen over boards with black stamping to front cover. Fine clamshell case with inset title label to front cover.

Club newsletter specific to this publication laid-in. In its slipcase, the book measures 18" wide x 23" high x 1.25 thick and weighs 9 pounds 5 ounces. This is much more than a coffee table book; this is library console table book. For those unfamiliar, the Limited Editions Club has been making and publishing select titles in limited edition since George Macy founded it in 1929. Their philosophy and mission has been to produce the finest books in the world, seeking and using the finest and often world-renowned designers, typographers, binders, illustrators (for drawings, wood engravings, and original lithographs and etchings), printers (using letterpress printing, hand-made paper, and imported linens and silks) -- works of art really.

I have for sale twenty-six (26) of these magnificent Limited Editions Club books, and all of them are: in like new condition, many having never been opened; numbered and signed by the author and/or the illustrator; with their original Limited Editions Club newsletter announcing and overviewing the book; with mulberry paper to protect the illustrations; and.
