Illustrating our edition, Valenti Angelo embellished each sonnet with individual decorations, in red and blue and gold. This is a large book, considered an elephant folio in size, the pages being 10 1/2 by 15 inches. All the foundry Bulmer type was composed by hand. The printing was performed at the Limited Edition Club Printing Office in New York; the type in black, the decorations in "illuminator's blue" and "illuminator's red, " and the gold applied to the sheets through silk screens.
For the paper, we are indebted to the Worthy Paper Company for paper made completely of linen rags: a slack-sized, warmly-toned, heavy sheet, no two pages the same size. The binding is of blue unfinished linen, stamped with gold leaf, and the book is enclosed in a hand-molded case covered with the same linen material. This is number 216 of 1500 copies, and is signed by Valenti Angelo. The offer includes both the Limited Editions Club Monthly Letter and the prepublication announcement. The offer should have wide appeal but most especially to lovers of poetry and English literature, and to collectors of feminist writings, it would make an awesome gift to any woman of any age. As to condition, the book and case are as nice as any that will turn up in the marketplace.Thank you for reading this presentation, and good luck in your searches.
