Cumberland Hotel

London Golden Cockerel Press 1933

31pp. 8vo. Ills. Printed on hand-made paper. Full sheepskin binding, with original glassine wrapper and red slipcase. Gilt title on front board. No. 183 of a limited edition [500] from the Golden Cockerel Press. Signed by the two authors and the main illustrator: Philip Page, John Drinkwater, William Walcot. Original glassine wrapper is yellowed and chipped with a small nick to the leather at this point on the spine. Leather covered boards are very good otherwise. Some offset from the sheepskin on the endpapers. Binding a little weak where the sewing is separating from the boards. Slipcase a little chipped. Internally however, this book is very good indeed. A beautifully produced item published in the early days of Christopher Sandford's era at the Press. The Hotel was designed by F J Wills F.R.I.B.A. and the public rooms designed by Oliver P Bernard.
