1979 Easton Press Edition

What a true first shows: The Jowett/Butcher translation with Kallen's introduction, Baskin's portraits and Moore's notes was first issued by The George Macy Companies, Inc., New York, 1964 (Heritage/Limited Editions Club). This Easton Press leather 'Collector's Edition' is a 1979 reissue for '100 Greatest Books Ever Written' subscribers, not the original edition.
