Deckled edges, untrimmed. Printed paper label with title, author's name, and printer's name on spine.

Errata slip inserted. "The slip was, says Mr. Richard Hughes, 'a gross understatement. I believe some of the formes fell on the floor after the final proof correction, with the result that lines got transposed and so on. Rather than publicly confess to so many misprints, Taylor brazenly acknowledged only two!'"--Bibliography of the Golden Cockerel Press.
