A fine copy in similar slipcase of the specially bound edition limited to 100 copies this copy number 81 signed and numbered by Fred Buller. Finely bound in a full dark red morroco, all edges gilt in matching slipcase. Buller and Falkus spent many years researching the original text, exploring the evidence for and against the various opinions. After rendering the text into modern English, they explored the evidence for and against the various opinions of the book's origins. Broadly favouring the traditional interpretations, they found fascinating reasons for accepting that it could have been written by "The Dame" at Sopwell, near the City of St. Albans. All of this has now been put together by Fred Buller, with help from Jack Heddon, Malcolm Greenhalgh, David Beazley, Professor Stephen Downes and Denys Ovenden.
