Description
Remarkably scarce typographic art/concrete poetry book by Jules Engel, hailed as the inventor of modern animation for his work with Disney and UPA. A first edition was published in 1973, but is described in a WorldCat listing as "ringgeheftet in 2 Foliendeckel" or ring-bound with foil covers. This copy appears to be from the 1997 edition of 50 copies (Getty Library). As neither edition displays bibliographic information, this is difficult to categorically determine and scarcity makes a side by side comparison near impossible. This copy is, however, in VG/near-fine internal condition throughout, crisp, clean and bright on light cream stock. Unpaginated. Landscape 255 x 165mm. One page affected by a small paper fault which has produced a short crease. Bright white endpapers. Clean cream cloth with gilt titling to front. Very lightly bumped to bottom right corners. Additional photographs and as much other information as I have available on request.
