RANDALL DAVIES AND HIS BOOKS OF NONSENSE

First edition, first printing. Signed limited edition. Publisher's original patterned paper covered boards designed by Meg Held, over a green cloth spine, with titles in black on a paper label to the spine. Illustrated throughout with 140 black and white woodcuts. Set in Garamond Italic and printed by Graham Moss on Wookey Hole mould made paper. Prospectus loosely laid-in. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps.

This is one of 175 numbered copies (from a total edition of 315) bound by Incline Press using pattered paper, with this example number 71 and signed by the printer Graham Moss in black ink on the colophon. The remaining 140 copies were individually bound out of house. This new edition by Incline Press includes cuts and limericks from Randall Davies' 'A Lyttel Booke of Nonsense' (1912), 'A Little More Nonsense' (1923) and the reprint edition of the latter all originally published by Cayme Press. Geoff Giles used first editions of both books to reproduce the woodcuts in polymer for this edition.
