This trade edition of Moby-Dick is a reduced version of the Arion
Press Moby-Dick, which was published in 1979 in a limited edition
of 250 copies and has been hailed as a modern masterpiece of
bookmaking. It was hand set under the supervision of one of
America's finest book designers and printers. The initial letters
that begin each chapter were designed especially for this book and
christened "Leviathan." The illustrations, of places, creatures,
objects or tools, and processes connected with nineteenth-century
whaling, are original boxwood engravings by Massachusetts artist
Barry Moser. The text of Moby-Dick used in this edition is based on
that used in the critical edition of Melville's works published by
the Northwestern University Press and the Newberry Library. This
reduced version is smaller in size than the Arion edition and the
California deluxe edition, but it includes all of the original
pages and illustrations. It is printed in black only throughout,
and it is not slipcased.
