Pennyroyal Press, Deluxe Edition. First Edition, First Printing. Rare and highly desired. Fine in supple tan leather and maroon cloth. This is the critically acclaimed “Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus” published by the Pennyroyal Press, Northampton, Massachusetts in 1983 with a limitation of 350 copies with this being number 216. Pennyroyal Press spared no expense in the production of Barry Moser’s Frankenstein which consists of a hand-crafted leather bound book signed by Barry Moser as well as a separate portfolio of 52 individually signed prints by Barry Moser which are housed in a linen chemise which together with the book are housed in a slipcase. Moser’s illustrations for Frankenstein are considered to be among his finest works. Moser's favorite book and work: "I’m often asked, which of my books is my favorite and I usually respond with the single word Frankenstein. It is my favorite because it, more than the others, exemplifies what I hold to be ideal: it holds together as a unit, a cohesive whole with type, text, and images well-balanced and well paced."
