Thanks Emilien

Could I ask how much did you pay for it?

I found it at a small bookshop in the UK called The Chaucer Bookshop. After shipping and import, it ended up being slightly over $300 USD.

Oh how beautiful the Chaucer Bookshop in Canterbury is. And on probably the sweetest named street in Britain (Beer Cart Lane). Wonderful place.

Nice. I have the Chaucer Bookshop in my bookmarks. Very nice price for this one !
Could you post a picture of the spine and back side?
