Rare "Counterfit" Issue, printed for Richard Donovan & Joe Murdoch and rejected because of defects. Appearently the printer sold the production without authority. This copy is the true first edition. The error was in the binding of the first folio which did not 'catch' on the binder and thus appeared crooked. |

| Condition: |
