As You Like It
by William Shakespeare
The book measures 10 1/2" x 8 1/8"
and has 122 pages. The body of the text is Bruce Roman. The regular edition
above was bound in paper over boards with a suede spine and printed on Roycroft
handmade paper. The limited edition of 100 was printed on Imperial Japan Vellum,
bound 3/4 Levant and specially illuminated. Some of the 100 were also bound in
3/4 tooled leather according to McKenna. The unlimited edition shown above was
also bound in an Alicia and a Miriam type binding. It is somewhat reminiscent of
a Miriam binding but not exactly. The press work was by Otto Franz and the
borders and designs were by Samuel Warner.
