CHANTICLEER, A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE GOLDEN COCKEREL PRESS,...
by Sandford, Christopher et al.

All of these are the limited edition version: 300 numbered copies each for Chanticleer and Cock-A-Hoop, 250 for Cockalorum, and 200 for Pertelote. All are signed by Christopher Sandford, who owned the Press from 1933 to 1959; in addition, Pertelote is signed by Owen Rutter and Cock-A-Hoop by David Chambers, who was its main author. These four volumes contain together 214 entries for Golden Cockerel publications, and listings of 96 general prospectuses and 100 prospectuses for individual works. Entries contain standard bibliographic information followed by Sandford's comments on the author, the work, the printing, the edition, the illustrator, and/or whatever else he wishes to mention. There are 200 illustrations of woodcuts and wood engravings by about 40 different illustrators: Book illustrations, title page designs, borders, head- and tailpieces, vignettes, and more than enough variations on the Golden Cockerel device. In addition to bibliographic matter, Chanticleer contains a foreword and an introduction, Pertelote has a foreword, Cockalorum offers no less than a foreword and six articles and addresses by Sandford, and Cock-A-Hoop has a foreword and introductory matter. All boards are covered in patterned cloth with a Golden Cockerel motif in different colors; leather binding colors (by vol.) are red, green, brown, and blue respectively. Gilt spine lettering; Cockalorum and Cock-A-Hoop have two raised bands each. Slight rubbing. Minor fading of the spines of first two volumes.
