This new edition is limited to 250 numbered copies, 50 of which are printed on tan-coloured hemp paper. The illustrations, including the dust-wrapper plate and the new extra colour plate, are tipped in by hand. The end-paper illustrations are the work of the editor, Kenyon Gibson. Loosely inserted is a photograph, believed to be of Taymur Mirza and his sons. It has a new foreword by Lt. Col. S. Kent Carnie, curator of the Archives of American Falconry. The binding style is unorthodox. Rather than consisting of folded signatures, as is usual, this book consists of a block of single sheets, stabbed and sewn. It forms an entirely adequate and strong binding although the sewing is sometimes visible when the book is fully open. This is the first of a set of three volumes on Eastern falconry published by the Eryr Press. . N° de réf. du vendeur 37317
