Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Seller's Description:
Stephen Gooden. Very Good. A beautiful limited edition volume of the odes of Greek lyric poet Anacreon, this Nonesuch edition using the translation of Abraham Cowley. A Nonesuch limited edition, limited to a total of seven-hundred and fifty copies, of which this is numbered five-hundred and twenty-nine. Â Abraham Cowley's translation of the collected odes of Anacreon, the Greek lyric poet known for his drinking songs and erotic poems. Â Illustrated by Stephen Gooden with an engraved title, four plates, and head-and tail-pieces. This translation was first published in 1683. Pencil inscription of William Russell Flint, dated 1936, to the recto of the front endpaper. Flint was a Scottish artist known for his watercolours of women, as well as being an author of short stories. He illustrated editions of many notable books, including 'King Solomon's Mines', 'Le Morte d'Arthur', and 'The Canterbury Tales'. Bookplate of Charles Ballantyne to the front paste down. Collated, complete. Â The Nonesuch Press specialised in limited edition and private press. They were founded by Francis Meynell, his second wife, Vera Mendel, and their friend, David Garnett. Their aspiration was for their publications to be aligned with the same aesthetic standards as the private press movement. They were unusual as they used a small Albion press to design the books, but had them printed by commercial printers. In doing so, books with the quality of a fine-press were produced, but available to a wider audience at lower prices. In the original publisher's quarter paper vellum with gold paper to the boards. Externally, smart, with a little rubbing and bumping to the extremities. A few light marks to the boards, heavier to the rear board. Bookplate to the front paste down, pencil inscription to the recto of the front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Very Good.
