In only a few instances has it been possible to show the first book or pamphlet known to have been printed in a given state, but all the states are represented by titles printed at least within a few years of the introduction of the press. ... The entries printed here are revisions of the labels used in the exhibition.". Book. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Soft cover
