(ROUNCE & COFFIN CLUB). ZEITLIN, Jake.Twenty disorderly years.(Pasadena, California: The Ampersand Press, 1951) [ii], 13, [1] pp. (160 x 161 mm.)Original tan printed wrappers, stitched as issued.Wrappers and contents slightly rumpled from use, but very clean inside and out.
A lovely keepsake printed by the Ampersand Press and penned by the great bookseller Jake Zeitlin, for distribution among members of the Rounce & Coffin Club--a group devoted to fine press and printing.
This scarce publication contains Zeitlin's recollections of the founding of the club and its various meetings, landmarks, and personalities during its first 20 years of existence. Zeitlin was a founding member of the group, which encouraged every member to "at least once each year produce some evidence of his creative ability, or should otherwise serve in the work of the club."
