Edizione: one of the best of all the burton club editions of the arabian nights. this set bound handsomely and issued in limited number. the set includes a vast number of illustrations including those of the original illustrators to the nights as well as extra illustrations which had not appeared in the english editions. while burton club editions are plentiful in cloth binding and later issue, these early printings issued in limited number and fine bindings are not at all prevelant on the market.
