Removed from previous binding and separating into signatures. Good. A partly hand-priced and named copy of Woodward’s fourth semi-annual sale. A landmark early collection, rated A by Adams in eleven different categories and A+ overall. One of the most important sales of the time period. Many extant copies lack the original covers or have been bound sans wrappers, a serious defect as they not only provide the sole title, but, printed on the inside covers is Woodward’s lengthy and informative introductory remarks.
