Four Gnostic Soliloquies.
(Hastings): Durtro, 2008. First Edition - Limited. Softcover booklet. Octavo (9 5/8 x 6 3/4 inches). (12pp) Sewn, deep blue card wrappers with black-printed title within ornamental border on the front wrapper. Hand-set in Bembo type, printed letter-press by Alan Anderson on high quality paper. A beautifully produced collection of four haunting prose poems by David Tibet. Edition limited to 350 numbered copies - this copy un-numbered, but SIGNED by David Tibet. A printed note on the limitation page explains that these booklets were given gratis to subscribers to Tibet's "Under the Rain and Teeth of Gods" - apparently as a thank you for their forbearance with regard to production delays. This example of the booklet is one of a tiny number of un-issued reserve copies that were printed as spares in case the were needed to replace any misprinted or damaged copies in the stated 350. Instead of a limitation number it has "(Archive Copy)" in David Tibet's handwriting, and is SIGNED by him at the bottom of the page. A fine copy of a beautifully produced work that proves that even a booklet can be an object of style and elegance. Item #68452
