One of only 25 copies of this very scarce apprentice-work by Ronald Gordon, later of The Oliphant Press. While a student at Amherst, Ronald Gordon studied printing and bookmaking with Baskin and Harold McGrath. Gordon interned at Baskin's Gehenna Press, and as part of his apprenticeship made several books under the Apiary Press imprint, Smith College's student publications imprint. Soon after graduating, Gordon established The Oliphant Press as a private press in New York City.

Very scarce: OCLC/WorldCat locates only three copies (Smith College, Amherst College, and Princeton University).

Price: $1,000.00
