The Poems of Robert Burns. 1965. Limited Editions Club. Signed Joan Hassall Illu

Selected and with an introduction by DeLancey Ferguson. Decorated with wood engravings by Joan Hassall.

Glasgow: printed for the Members of The Limited Editions Club. Limited edition of 1500 copies, each numbered and signed by the illustrator, this number 353. Publisher's quarter green leather over green paper-covered boards with black motif of Burns to centre of front board, in the decorative slipcase. A near fine copy, the leather and boards just a trifle marked, corners very gently bumped but the binding tight and square.

Top edge just a little marked around headband. The slipcase structurally sound, a little toned and gently rubbed but a very handsome copy overall. Note that there is no paper label to rear slipcase panel on this volume by the LEC, as was the case on a handful of volumes.
