Dorian Gray - no.4

Random House 1992


From: Borders, Salt Lake City

Price: $16.95

Look: This is a very, very green copy. Now I adore the colour green, but this is almost too green for me. It's got a nice pic of the author on the cover, but the green makes him look half dead. Still, the inside cover has a nice design and the setting is really nice.

Extras: Only a note at the back informing us that the typeface was inspired by a 16th century calligrapher.

I was bad, OK? I bought this from the same shop as the previous one. I still feel a little guilty for binging on two at the same time, which is a pity as it means I've never appreciated this very lovely copy. There was actually a third one there, but I drew the line at buying three.
