"Outside of a dog, man's best friend is a book. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
— Groucho Marx
A Child's Book of Hours.
London: Humphrey Milford, n.d. [1921]. FIRST EDITION. Folio (37 x 25cm), unpaginated, printed on 16 thick card leaves with 12 fine chromolithographic plates. In publisher's quarter tan cloth with tan paper-covered boards. Titles and clock illustration printed in colour to upper board. With rare original dust-jacket, mirroring upper board. Very light wear to upper fore-edges. Jacket heavily browned, as expected, with some significant chipping to edges, especially upper rear cover edge and the top and bottom edges of the spine, which feature some larger losses. Very good indeed; arguably a near-fine copy considering the rarity of the jacket. Item #49320
