167 pages, with 14 colour plates, 86 half-tones and line cuts, light blue cloth with a paper title label on the upper cover, a very good copy.
H.P. Kraus writes in a Personal Postscript, ‘This catalogue, which I am sending to my friends and clients, is the fulfilment of the most extravagant dream of an antiquarian bookseller. It is the culmination of many years of planning and working. Never before in this 20th century has so formidable an assemblage of great printed books been displayed and offered for sale in a catalogue; perhaps this can never be done again.’
The catalogue was issued in a limited edition of 1200. 300 of these for distribution to clients and friends and 800 for sale.
Part I was published in 1954 and contained an equally spectacular selection of books for sale.
