Description

This striking and imaginative binding was created by Michael Wilcox, a Canadian artist, in 1982. The midnight-blue goatskin is covered in red goatskin letterforms, for the author and title, on both covers. It is the most elaborate of seven Club copies, of which one is on large paper and six are in variant English bindings.
