This week TMG features the contents of a curated book collection featuring 19 Limited Editions Club (LEC) of New York classics circa 1930's-40's in excellent condition.  The legendary LEC subscription based model featured very small print runs (500-1500) illustrated by luminary artists of the day.  All were hand numbered and hand signed by the illustrator. 

Here is an informational blurb from their website:

"When George Macy founded the Limited Editions Club in 1929, his intention was clear: to re-publish the classics of world literature in volumes that exemplified the finest editing, illustration and book arts obtainable. Together, the almost 600 books produced by the Club comprise an unparalleled achievement. Individually, each book is a superbly crafted object, meant to endure the test of time. From Matisse and Picasso to de Kooning, Motherwell, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Ryman, Sean Scully, Jacob Lawrence, Balthus, and Cartier-Bresson. The list of those who have illustrated books expressly for the Club includes many of the most acclaimed artists of our era."
