Seattle & Thame: First Impressions, 1993-1995. First Edition, Deluxe. Hardcovers. Three large volumes. Folios (13 x 9 3/4 inches). un-paginated (approx. 900 pp), b/w illustrations. Quarter leather with cloth boards with gilt title and line portrait of Spare to spine, all edges gilt, marbled end papers, ribbon markers. This edition limited to 100 sets bound thus. Vol. 2 is numbered "41" - the other volumes are un-numbered (variances in numbers are not uncommon as the volumes were published separately). A spectacular collection of Spare's art and writings, heavily illustrated and with additional material by Frank Letchford, Clive Harper, William Wallace, others. Because of their size and weight most sets we've seen have at very least bumped corners. Two upper corners of volume 1 are bruised, and there is a little shelf rubbing and a few tiny flecks to the same volume, otherwise the is set is as close to new as it would be possible to find, with all volumes otherwise in near-Fine condition with just a touch of shelfwear. No dust jackets issued. Large, heavy set - shipping at cost to all destinations. Item #73387
