Mark Beech - Soliloquy for Pan - Egaeus Press, 2015, Limited Edition.

Shaftesbury?, Egaeus Press, 2015. Limited Edition. Hardback. Limited edition, one of 300 copies. 350 pages dedicated to the great god Pan. Collecting together 27 shorts from contemporary and classic writers. Authors included are Dion Fortune, Lord Dunsany, Robert Louis Stevenson, R.B. Russell, Mark Valentine and John Howard. The endpapers reproduce Rubens's Pan Reclining. Gold embossed Pan on upper board. Nicely laid out with numerous illustrations and vignettes reflective of the decadence that Egaeus press are looking for. A nice production. The book sold out within two weeks of publication, so the majority of copies are tucked away in current collections, so are hitting the market infrequently. The press published a second printing in 2016, which is itself selling for close to ?100. A little bumping to the tips. Cover art by Heinrich Aldegrever Illustrations by Peter Paul Rubens [8331, Hyraxia Books].
