Of the total edition, 650 copies were leatherbound by Sangorski and Sutcliffe in blue and approximately 100 were simultaneously bound in red crushed levant morocco, all edges gilt. This copy is one of the extremely rare red bindings. The condition is virtually mint. ACHILLE J. ST. ONGE (1913–1978) was the greatest maker of miniature books in the 20th Century. Based in Worcester, Massachusetts, he began producing them as a hobby in 1935. By the time he ceased in 1977, St. Onge had created 48 miniature masterpieces on an eclectic variety of subjects. The books all remain much-prized by collectors.
