Sobre este artículo
London: The Folio Society, 2008. Facsimile edition. Hardcover. Fine/issued without. Folio, brownish-red cloth, extra gilt cover, in fine publisher's slipcase
A handsome facsimile of the famed masterwork of The Kelmscott Press, created by William Morris, with illustrations by Edward Burne-Jones. Appended to this is an Afterword essay on the Kelmscott Chaucer by William S. Peterson, the bibliographer of The Kelmscott Press. He states that, of numerous facsimiles, the 1975 edition by The Basilisk Press is "heads and shoulders above the rest ... it is an astonishing recreation." This Folio Society edition used the personal copy of the proprietor of The Basilisk Press to create this reproduction. Even the thick paper - to imitate the original - was specially commissioned from the James Cropper Paper Mill.

Sobre Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
