1/500 copies bound in vellum

CHAUCER, Geoffrey. THE CANTERBURY TALES

London: Phillip Lee Warner, 1913.   Three quarto volumes bound in limp vellum.  $1600.

Limited edition (1/500 sets) of this beautiful edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, with colored plates by W. Russell Flint, one of the great book illustrators of the 20th century.  A few stray marks to boards, light toning to covers, heavier to volume II, some wear to silk ties; internally clean.  An excellent set with only minor flaws.
