PTINOS (Herbert Pratt, 1900 - 85). The Magic Circle. A Short Literary History. Shanklin: J.B. Findlay, 1952. One of only four copies printed. Green printed wraps. Illustrated. 4to. Dawes bookplate. Small stain to cover, else very good.
Curiously, a statement printed inside the book says, “Four copies only of this booklet are made. They go to Ptinos, The Magic Circle, Stanley Collins and James B. Findlay. Each copy is signed by both the Author and Publisher.” Even so, this copy is not signed by either party, and does not bear the Collins book plate, though it was most likely owned by him.
