One of only 2,000 copies produced for members of the Limited Editions Club. This is copy number 882 and is signed by the illustrator on a special limitations page in the verso. Decorated pastedowns and endpapers. Multi-colored striped decorative cloth boards. Gilt titling to the spine. Fine condition in a near fine slipcase that shows only minor toning from age--the book itself appears to have been never opened. A fine collectable copy. Three Men In A Boat was first published in 1889. The geographical locations in England are still there--but gone forever is the silence threaded only by bird calls and the rippling of the river--the sweet landscape that was then typically English--one thing for sure--this is still a great read--a fun read--and quite a collectable publication from LEC.
