R.L.S. to J.M. Barrie: a Vailima portrait with an introduction by Bradford A. Booth
San Francisco: printed at the Grabhorn Press for The Book Club of California, 1962. Hardcover. xiv, 16p., 8.75x12 inches, rubricated vignette on title page, introduction with rubricated great initial, three sketches of Stevenson by Isobel Strong on blue stock, rubricated text and illustrations in the margins, facsimile letter plate, very good first edition limited to 475 copies bound in marbled boards and wheat quarter-cloth backing, paper title label on spine with gilt titles. A remarkably spirited letter; but after all, these the spirits that created Long John Silver and Peter Pan, in authorial conversation.
