Letterpress printed by Patrick Reagh in Baskerville type on Arches Mouldmade paper in an edition limited to 330 copies in Green silk and four presentation copies in Burgundy. Greene was so impressed by the Sylvester and Orphanos production of his Quick Look Behind that he immediately proposed a second publication, and his account of a 1951 trip to China was settled on. The finished work remains one of Reagh's finest productions and is the jewel of the S&O catalog. A significant rarity in its finished state with label and number. Production was aborted for unknown reasons with the majority of the bound copies left unsequenced and without the cover title label. FINE in FINE clamshell.
