About the Limited Editions Club:
The Limited Editions Club was started in 1929 by George Macy as a way to make and sell beautifully crafted bound books illustrated and signed by some of the best in the day. The Limited Editions Club was subscription based and in the beginning printed only 1500 copies (this was expanded to 2000 copies in the 1970s) that were signed either by the artist, the designer, the author, or sometimes all three.
