Proof copy. Original green cloth. In 'a' binding

Component identifier:

Item 48(d)

Content Summary:

Lettered at top of front cover: 'Proof - Not for Publication'. The dust-jacket cover is bound in, but the words The Glugs of Gosh are embossed, as though a die has been used. The coloured title-page is missing; the frontispiece is tipped into the book but the caption at bottom is missing. Perhaps a trial copy for the Blue Wren edition, as at the appropriate pages in the text the coloured plates have been bound in, with the captions written thereon by Fred Shenstone. In the finished book the captions were printed on tissues facing the plates. This edition contains six extra plates in colour. Fred Shenstone has corrected some errors in the text of this volume.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The collection was purchased from Harry Chaplin in 1981.

Names:
