I found something quite bibliographically rare!! SOLD
11(copies) of folium of leaf E4 of the 1594/5 edition of
The first fovvre bookes of the ciuile wars between the two houses of Lancaster and Yorke. By Samuel Daniel..
Which in it’s own right is quite rare. ( see the ESTC below)
I think it is STC 6244 but this is a GUESS ,.Signatures: [A]1 B-2E4./ In verse./ Same text setting as STC 6244. “Identified as STC 6244 on UMI microfilm.”–ESTC./ Leaves 89-108 comprise the fifth book, in one of two settings: caption title has (1) “fift” (printed by John Windet) or (2) “fyft” (printed by J. Roberts?). Cf. ESTC./ Title within woodcut border (McKerrow and Ferguson 177, with “IHS” at top); woodcut factotums, head-pieces and tail-piece./ Printed marginalia./ Reproduction: Print reproduction.

I think it is quite a teaching item.
See the images So We have a very interesting printing mistake by Mr Waterson .
All this said there are 14 recorded copies and here we have 11 errors..
I’m thinking a class of 11 could try and figure this one out ..
