One of 150 copies. Henry Morris' Commentary on each book makes this a most readable bibliography--one fraught with insights into the perils and serendipities of private press printing and publishing. As Henry says, "I have included a lot ...that I think collectors enjoy most." This third B&B bibliography begins with the 1988 bibliograph, but includes a short title list of previous books. For those wanting a complete set, we have in stock Twenty-One Years of Bird & Bull (1980) and Thirty Years of Bird & Bull (1988).
