Description: Illustrations by Stan Washburn. (8vo) burgundy cloth, pamphlet "Notes for Tono-Bungay", cloth slipcase. No. 46 of 300 numbered copies from a total edition of 326."The novel is about quack medicine, featuring a product based on the phenomenal success of Coca-Cola, which in its original formulation contained cocaine.
