Hardback. 8vo. Good clean copy in slipcase. Some damage to slipcase, including a weakened spine and scuff marks. An imprint of George Macy Companies, Ltd., Heritage Press was founded in 1935.

The archives of the George Macy Companies, including both the Limited Editions Club and The Heritage Press, were purchased by the Ransom Center in 1970.
