Lot description

Square 8vo: 5 bifolia.

Loose under dust wrappers and decorative wrapper, pebble textured slipcase. Good copy.

Edition limited to 130 copies on Arches (n. 74) signed by John Crombie and Sheila Bourne. Text and colourful illustrations within decorative borders repeating the title of the work.
Kickshaws was established in 1979 by Crombie to fulfil his literary and design aspirations. "The design and typography of Kickshaws publications is unusual, involving a wide range of (often French) type designs, letterpress printing in multiple colours, and the use of unusual formats and binding styles, notably a simple form of comb-binding which allows the leaves of a book to be folded and refolded in different sequences" (Wikipedia).
