Other Details:
One of the earliest English "publisher's" bindings, decorated with a block specially cut for the book. The Abbey, British Library, and Bodleian copies are similarly bound. This does not mean that the whole edition would have been bound in this way, as was the case with 19th-centuty and later publisher's bindings.
