Ecce Mundus. Industrial Ideals and the Book Beautiful.

£120 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Cobden-Sanderson on his soap box, yelling in apparent frustration that “the idea to be communicated by the book comes first, as the thing of supreme importance”, emphasizing and re-emphasizing that “the Book Beautiful…should be conceived as a whole”.Spine a trifle darkened and some very mild rubbing to very edges of boards, otherwise a good, clean copy. Booklabel on front pastedown.
