HIDDEN HANDS: THE LIVES OF MANUSCRIPTS AND THEIR MAKERS
Published by Riverrun. Circa. 2021
Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. Manuscripts are not only the stuff of history and literature, but they offer some of the only tangible evidence we have of entire lives, long receded. Without manuscripts, many historical figures would be lost to us, as well as those of lower social status, women and people of colour, their stories erased and the remnants of their labours destroyed. Grey cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour illustrations.
3rd printing. A very nice copy.
