Laid-in at the front is a hand-written note of thanks from Kyriss to Nixon, along with a photo of a bookshop window displaying the book, in the original mailing envelope. Also laid-in is a corrected galley proof of Nixon's review of the book for "The Library," a review of the book by Ilse Schunke, another contributor to the festschrift, and (between pp. 376-7) two rubbings of bindings. The articles are mostly in German but for a few contributions in English, French or Italian. Illustrated. 493,[3] pp. Quarto, publisher's brown cloth. Cloth shows light wear and has a small stain on lower board; but the book is clean and solid overall. An interesting copy with an excellent association and enclosures. .
