Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. Limited Edition. "THE BAY PSALM BOOK FACSIMILE REPRINT DODD, MEAD & COMPANY 1903 LIMITED EDITION. Five years ago, or so, one of the originals of this book sold for the highest record of any book ever sold at auction, $14.2 million. This copy won t cost you as much although this one too appears to be quite scarce. Wikipedia provides us with a bit more information on the original which I quote here (with my thanks) for your further information. Wikipedia excerpt: The Bay Psalm Book was the first book printed in British North America. The book is a metrical Psalter, first printed in 1640 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Psalms in it are metrical translations into English. The translations are not particularly polished, and not one has remained in use, although some of the tunes to which they were sung have survived (for instance, "Old 100th"). However, its production, just 20 years after the Pilgrims' arrival at Plymouth, Massachusetts, represents a considerable achievement. It went through several editions and remained in use for well over a century. I am pleased to be able to offer a Facsimile Reprint of: The Bay Psalm Book, First Edition, Printed by Stephen Daye at Cambridge, in New England in 1640. The book includes an Introduction by Wilberforce Eames which provides interesting historical details about the book. This small hard cover book (5 ¼ x 8 inches, unpaginated, about 150 pages?) was published by Dodd, Mead & Company of New York, dated 1903. On the copyright page, it says: The edition of this facsimile reprint of The Bay Psalm Book is limited to 1000 copies, of which 25 copies are on Japan paper and 975 on plain paper. This is one of the plain paper copies. The book is bound in brown paper covered boards with a quarter spine in darker brown cloth and gilt titles on the spine. Condition: This book is in very good condition, considering it is already over 100 years old itself. That may be due in part to the fact that it does not appear to have been read very much as any number of the pages are still uncut. The hard covers show some light edge wear and darkening (please see the photos) but the spine is clean and bright. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright, from cover to cover. Both hinges are fully intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library and certainly not a remainder.".
