London Almanac for the year of Christ 1846. Company of Stationers. London. [1845]. >>CURIOUS FINGER FORMAT MINIATURE LONDON ALMANAC<<

17 double pages with stamps, transfer days at the bank, calendar, table of Kings and Queens, the Cabinet and the Court. Outer corners of first two leaves torn away, affecting a few letters of print. Inner joint split but holding firm. Original pale yellow endpapers. Corners and edges rubbed. This is a unusual example of the even smaller edition, half the size of the normal edition. Bondy calls this the "curious finger format resulting from the leaf being folded vertically... with no frontispiece illustrations". 18 x 60mm. Original black morocco with plain matching slipcase. Bondy, 39-41 & 164. Not in Spielmann, nor Welsh,. But see Welsh, 4655 for larger sized edition. WorldCat locates no copies worldwide of this edition in this format, unless the British Library copy at OCLC, 560254961 is in the unusual finger format.
