Lovely copy of the 1981 version of the Arion Press edition of Herman Melville's American classic, Moby-Dick; or, The Whale. 

The 1979 Arion Press edition of Moby Dick was designed by Andrew Hoyem, entirely handset in 18-point Goudy Modern typeface, and published on via platen letterpress on pages (made of handmade paper) that were 15 inches by 10 inches large!

This book recreates that edition on a smaller scale. Published in collaboration University of California-Berkeley in 1981. This book is from the second printing. 

Dust jacket protected with a removable archival-quality clear vinyl cover. Book is in good condition, but read the condition notes and carefully review photos. Dust jacket has some significant wear. Again, please carefully review condition notes & photos. Contact me with any questions and I'll be glad to answer them.

For collectors interested in other editions of Moby Dick, I also have a Heritage Illustrated edition with slipcase available, & a third pocket edition (from the 1950s, I think, published by Oxford University Press) that I'll be listing shortly. Please see my other listings.

Book will be shipped with swiftness and care.
