First editions, first impressions. Complete set of limited editions on handmade paper, each numbered and signed by the author and illustrator, from the same settings of type as the trade editions. The limitation numbers vary: When We Were Very Young is one of 100 copies; Now We Are Six, 200 copies; and Winnie-the-Pooh and House at Pooh Corner, 350 copies. Therefore this is one of only 100 possible complete sets. The House at Pooh Corner is additionally signed by Christopher Milne.

4 volumes, octavo. Original cloth backed boards, printed paper labels to upper boards. With the dust jackets. In a blue morocco solander case by the Chelsea Bindery. Illustrations throughout by E. H. Shepard. Very lightly rubbed at extremities, partial tanning to endpapers, some light spotting to the boards of House at Pooh Corner. An excellent set in the rubbed and nicked jackets with toned spine panels and some nicks and spots.
