Advert Description
RR Donnelley & Sons Company,
The Lakeside Press,
The Logbook of the Captain's Clerk : Adventures in the China Sea, 1995. Lakeside Classics is a series printed at Christmas-time by Commercial Printer RR Donnelley. The Tradition began in 1903 by Thomas E Donnelley, Son of the Founder and President of Company at the time. While the basic format has remained the essentially the same since inception - hardcover, cloth wrapped and gold embossed, the cover material and type style are adjusted every 25 years in order to stay current with development in fine bookmaking. Other production methods are updated as manufacturing improvements are introduced. Lakeside Classics are only made available to RR Donnelley employees, clients and other associated with the company. The week before Christmas each employee is given one copy of that year's volume. The Lakeside Classics are never sold by the company, but some have found their way into the rare book market. Thus because of their extremely limited distribution Lakeside Classics are a true collectors gem. And this one is in Mint Condition and Sealed.
