3 volumes in 2, 4to (288 x 208 mm). Printed in Troy type, the table of chapters and glossary in Chaucer type, printed in black and red, woodcut title-page and facing page with full woodcut page-border, numerous partial page-borders, and 8-line and smaller initial capitals, printer's device at end of volume 2.

Morris, in describing his plans for the work, stated: "The book will be ornamented very richly with woodcut ornaments entirely designed by myself; no labour or expense will be spared on them and there will be much variety in them. The semi-Gothic type designed by me (with special regard to legibility) will appear in this book for the first time" (qtd. in Peterson). Cockerell 8 ("This book ... is the first book printed in Troy type, and the first in which Chaucer type appears"); Peterson A8.
