Wraps. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. Scarce LIMITED EDITION. Limited to 300 unnumbered copies. From colophon page at rear: "300 copies of this booklet have been printed in December 1935 for the friends of Philip C. Duschnes. Walpole Printing Office, Mt. Vernon, N.Y.". Text printed in black & red with green floral decorative border. First & only edition. From New York Public Library website: "Perhaps it is not surprising, but lovers of printing have a long history of honoring the holidays in print. In December 1935, for example, rare book dealer Philip C. Duschnes published a limited edition of a small letterpress booklet called A Christmas Salute. This little printed keepsake incorporates glittery cardstock and bright red and green ink. The text itself, by American writer Christopher Morley, is a simple series of greetings to those who bring him and others joy - from librarians to greengrocers, from apple-growers to subway guards, and from waitresses to those who stop along the pavement to smell the Christmas trees. Morley's Salute first appeared in the New York Evening Post (December 23, 1922). A Christmas Salute is one of a number of Christmas keepsake publications held in the Rare Book Division". Bound in original hand-sewn (with gold string) gold-speckled cream-colored wraps, with red-lettered title within red & green borders printed to front cover. Mild marginal toning to cover, very slight edgewear, otherwise a very nice clean softcover copy. Now protected by being housed in an archival removable hard-mylar clear sleeve. Unpaginated (7 pages of text, plus title page, colophon & endpapers). RARE. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001351
