Description
A reprint--on acidic paper, alas--of the Swallow Press edition of 1963. We note with chagrin that the verso of the title page states . . printed on acid-free paper production people specify alkaline paper and are ignored by the printers (such was the case with an earlier OUP book--a new printing house seems in order). Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
