Top edges trimmed and coloured brown, other edges deckled. Limited edition: one of an edition of 200 copies, cast in 18-point Caslon and printed at Whittington on Zerkall mould-made paper, of which 50 copies were given this half leather binding and include 8 pages from the 1913 Prayerbook that is the subject of the volume. This is copy no. vii. Printed in red & black throughout. Includes 8pp. from the 1913 BCP, as called for, as well as facsimile of the 1913 Calendar for January and title page, and 4pp. proofs of pages printed at Whittington in 1989. When the Oxford University Press closed down its Printing House in 1989, a stack of printed quires was rescued from amongst the general dispersal. The sheets, from an otherwise unknown 1913 edition of the BCP printed in 17th-century Fell type, 'were patently too fine to be destroyed, and yet they were incomplete as books' (p. 4). As such, the Whittington Press was approached to print the missing pages which would allow production of ten complete copies. This is an account of the production of these ten copies and of the archivist Peter Foden's investigation of the circumstances behind the printing of the 1913 quires, 'shining examples of traditional typographic craftsmanship' (p. 39). A beautifully produced volume that stands both as a monument to the OUP Printing House and the wider tradition of fine press printing, and as an account of a successful piece of bibliographic and typographic detective work. One of 50 copies only of this delux limited edition. ~Robust packaging. All UK orders trackable, others on request. Used books are exempt from USA tariffs. 1st edn. Hardback. Size: 12, (2), 13-32, (8), 40, (4), 41-44, (1)pp. N° de réf. du vendeur GG3155
