500 _a'This is no. 1 of one hundred copies printed on Batchelor hand-made paper on a hand press, July 1930. [Signed] Author: G.K. Chesterton Artist: Thomas Derrick.'
500 _aEnclosure: [folded piece of paper with printed text] extract of text: The Turkey and the Turk. ‘Published in an edition limited to 100 copies’ …The fact is that 100 sets of sheets were printed but… ‘very few bound copies were issued; some sets of sheets were sold unbound, and most of the edition was ultimately burnt’...Probably not more that 35 to 40 copies survived in all.
501 _aNB - the claims that most of the copies were burnt and few survived have been contested - see The Mystery of The Turkey and the Turk Hasnes, Geir Chesterton review, 2019, Vol.45 (1), p.83-95
