371. Kaps, Fred (Abraham Pieter Adrianus Bongers). Fred Kaps’ In a Nutshell Dummy Book. British, ca. 1977. An 8vo dummy book presented to Kaps with a book jacket created specifically for Kaps with the faux title “In a Nutshell” on its front and spine in English, and in Dutch on the rear of the jacket. In fact, the book is actually a day calendar for the year 1977. Accompanied by a TLS to Kaps from Arthur Day, and a letter of provenance signed by Kaps’ widow. Very good.
