near complete set limited editions (1 résultats)

Etat : Near fine. Various places but mostly New York, 1929-1985. A massive assemblage of 528 individual titles, and 724 volumes. This collection stops in 1985 and the titles published in the successive years were greatly decreased, with only 50 more titles published. Meaning that completing this collection, might still be very difficult, but certainly not impossible. The vast majority of the collection is in near fine to fine condition. The Limited Editions Club (LEC) was founded in 1929 by George Macy to publish high-quality, illustrated books for a membership of 1,500. The club successfully produced 12 books annually under George Macy and his wife Helen until 1971. However, from 1971 to 1978, the LEC faced financial challenges and underwent five ownership changes, losing the Heritage Press, which had published trade editions of their books. Despite these challenges, the LEC continued to produce beautiful books.
