Harpooned another Whale...
I just received my third Lakeside Press edition of Rockwell Kent's Moby Dick, affectionately called the Whale in a Pail due to its aluminum slipcase. It is arguably the most beautiful copy of Moby Dick one can possess and I am extremely fond of it. I am very pleased to have been able to have three of them in the last couple of years.
Technically, I have a fourth copy on its way, too. This one was missing its slipcase, which is a reasonably major negative. However, it has an interesting association with Kent and it will be housed in a custom made slipcase in full leather "art binding" and should be stunning when finished. I'll be certain to post images when it arrives.
