Footprints

JONES, Shirley.  FOOTPRINTS.

Brecon: Red Hen Press, 2001. Folio. Grey leather spine and onlay to the front cover, and cloth drop-lid box with leather spine label. (47) pages, including 12 mezzotint prints. First edition, the deluxe issue from a total edition of 40 copies.

This latest Shirley Jones book is a forty year reminiscent of her family pets.  It has not touched my heart the way Gladstone did, but no other press book ever ellicited that experience from me.  Footprints, for my taste, is a close second.  This is the deluxe issue of the book, in a silver grey cloth binding with dark grey leather spine and onlay, with endpapers by the author and a cloth box.  Fine.
