Printed wrappers, small 8vo, 64 pp, ills. The issue is devoted to: "Edward Ardizzone: a preliminary hand-list of his illustrated books, 1929-1970", by Brian Alderson. From the introduction: ".the compiler decided that - despite the quantity of material involved - it would be a sensible plan to indicate not just the publication details of the books but also the number and kind of illustrations in them. The lack of a completely acceptable terminology and the difficulty of determining precise details about the methods by which illustrations have been prepared have hampered progress but it is nonetheless hoped that the list will prove useful to those who wish to know more of the work of a great artist. In a negative way, it may also stand as a warning to like-minded proto-bibliographers - a guide to how this complex task may be improved upon." Slightly faded around spine, otherwise Good.
