This beautiful edition of Rudyard Kipling's Kim was published by The Limited Editions Club in 1962 and has an introduction by Charles Edmund Carrington. Robin Jacques has created sixteen full-page illustrations, to which his colors have been applied by hand, through stencils, in the studio of Walter Fischer in New York. The artist has also drawn numerous smaller illustrations. Mr. Jacques signed the work. The printing was done by The Marbridge Press, New York, on a vellum-finish rag stock made especially for this edition by the Curtis Paper Company of Newark, Delaware. The boards of the three-piece binding are covered in a superior grade of olive-green buckram, and the shelfback is of polished black leather; the sides and spine are stamped in pure gold leaf with an Indian spiral motif designed by Ruari McLean. The Monthly Letter of the Limited Editions Club is enclosed. Allen and Patricia Ahearn, in The Guide to Identification and Values (Fourth Edition, 2011), value this work at $125. 7.25 x 10 inches; 332 pages. This extremely attractive volume is in excellent condition. The sturdy and attractive slip-case is in very good condition; there is a slight sun-caused discoloration of 1.75 x .75 inches on the front of the slip-case, and a dark thin line of approximately 2.5 inches on the same side. These do not show on a book shelf.
