Circle Press.- Chaucer (Geoffrey) The Prologue to the Canterbury Tales, one of 50 A.P. copies, signed by the artist Ronald King, colour screen-prints, original cloth, slip-case, with accompanying portfolio of thick hand-made card containing 20 parts, each part with an original print (all but one signed) and an accompanying piece of prose or poetry printed on the inside wrapper by Roy Fisher, Andrew Crozier, Kevin Power and Keith Please, folder with silk ties, folio, Guildford, Circle Press, 1978.

*** The Second Edition, as here, is a creation of some considerable complexity beyond even the details described above. Each of the twenty loose prints was new for this edition, as were the poems and essays by the four contributors. However, for five of the Chaucer characters which had already been illustrated by images in the book itself, the loose prints provided with the second edition were composite lithographic images of six versions of preliminary sketches for the final design, printed in black on a blue graph-paper grid (the exception is The Franklin, which although it appears in the book is also represented by a new full colour signed print in the portfolio). These five lithographs are I (The Knight), III (The Squire), V (The Nonne), VI (The Monk) and XVII (The Miller). Finally, above and beyond the called-for issue state, there are an additional five full-colour prints of the original images from the First Edition of the book inserted into folders I, III, V, VI and XVII. With the exception of the original print of III: The Squire and the lithograph of VI: Monk, each of the loose prints is numbered, titled and either intialled or signed by Ron King in pencil.
