First edition, limited to 250 copies. Printed by Martino Mardersteig at the Stamperia Valdonega, Verona on Magnani mould-made paper. A hitherto unpublished notebook reproduced in facsimile and accompanied by corresponding readings from the 1824 first edition of the Library Companion. It contains Dibdin's comments on books, manuscripts and prints examined by him in the University, Pepys, St. John's College and Trinity College libraries. The introduction by the editor, Renato Rabaiotti, describes the events surrounding Dibdin's life in the 1820s and places the notebook in the perspective of Dibdin's career. There is also a current finding-list of the books, manuscripts and prints Dibdin examined, compiled by David McKitterick. A fine production of one surviving testament of Dibdin's ambition to publish a Tour of England.

HOLY BIBLE
Designed by Bradbury Thompson. Bradbury Thompson (1911-1995) was born in Topeka, Kansas and graduated from Washburn College in 1934. He designed for Westvaco, Mademoiselle, Art News and the Smithsonian among others. He had a unique style which included the experimental use of color, typography and photo reproduction. This Bible is also known as ( from the title page) The Easton Family Bible and The Washburn College Bible. The Washburn College Bible was originally published in 1979 by the College. Then is was published in a one-volume edition by Oxford University Press in 1980. Washburn College Bible and Oxford University Press appear on the slipcase, but Easton Press does not. The text is King James in Modern Paraphrase. The slipcase has taken the wear - a little soiled and worn at the edges. The Bible has a tiny chip in the leather at the lower edge of the rear board.
