    ~7 1/4" X ~6 1/4", unpaginated. Suede leather covers, the front is deeply embossed with the title letters in gold.

    I have found RUISDAEL references, but not about watermarked paper. I seek your help to determine more about that, an' whether this is anything rare or a typical Elbert Hubbard Roycrofter's production.

    The pages are pristine, but the volume has been poorly treated, an' sun-faded on the back. More pics immediately below. Thanks for lookin'!

    The Roycrofters had a big book printing business going. I don't know how rare this is, but they made a lot of books.
