Leaves from the Book of Kells

G.O. Simms

The Three Candles Limited, Dublin. 1962. First edition, thus. Light yellowing to edges of boards. Slim volume; 22 pages.

A lovely little slim volume with black and white images from the legendary Book of Kells combined with explanations from G.O. Simms. Everything about the presentation shows the reverence for the source material; from the gorgeous cover to the typeface designed specifically for this book. A religious item unto itself, lovely for any shrine or bookshelf.
