Between the Covers

Hardcover. First edition thus. Illustrated by Rockwell Kent. Three volumes. Folio. Tiny light stains on a couple of the front endpapers, nominal rubbing at the spine ends, still fine in fine aluminum slipcase. Lacking the original acetate dustwrappers, this copy came to us with early glassine dustwrappers. Limited to 1000 sets. Illustrated by Kent with 280 magnificent woodcuts, this is considered to be his masterpiece and is a landmark of 20th Century book illustration. The book gained its nickname, "Fish in a Can", for its unusual aluminum slipcase (and yes, we know a whale isn't a fish).
