Signed by Ilustrator Slip-Case – Hard Cover. This Limited Editions Club classic contains two short novels by the great Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick.

The Limited Editions Club was founded in 1929.  It was the creation of George Macy.  Its purpose was to create very high quality versions of the classics that were also illustrated by the finest contemporary artists.  All Limited Edition Club books are hand signed by the illustrators with a short description of the making of the book on the colophon in the rear of the volume.  Only a few were published without a signature because the illustrator had passed away before publication.  All LEC books come with a fine decorative slipcase and the great majority of them contain original fine art within. They are finely constructed books printed by the best printers and on fine paper.T
