A Lodging For the Night
by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1902
This book measures 7 3/4" x 5" and has
44 pages. The text body is set in Bruce Roman with regular edition printed on
Roycroft watermarked handmade paper with a suede binding. A limited edition of
100 was bound 3/4 Levant, printed on Japan Vellum, and hand illuminated.
Additionally, some copies of this title were bound full Levant.
The book above is an undocumented wallet edge binding variant that is not listed
in McKenna. It was printed on Roycroft watermarked paper and the title page and
running heads were hand illumined. Typically, Roycroft wallet edge suede
bindings were limited editions of 350 and sometimes 100 or 50 but the book above
has no limitation statement and is the only one I have seen.
