In fine condition. Founded over a century ago in 1900, the Harcourt Bindery is the oldest and largest traditional bindery in America devoted to fine traditional leather bookbinding by hand. An exceptional presentation.
"A novel planned on the grandest possible scale...One of those occasions when a writer has aimed high and then summoned every ounce of energy, talent, seriousness, and passion of which he was capable...It is an entirely interesting and impressive book" (The New York Herald Tribune).
