By Sir Francis Meynell · 1968

Synopsis

This bibliography records the books issued by a London fine-edition publisher from its founding in 1947 through 1967. An appraisal by Sir Francis Meynell and a historical note sit before a descriptive list of titles, with details of authors, illustrators, type, printers, and bindings, and with specimen pages and photographs of covers. The book is a commemorative checklist rather than a history of literature: it documents what was published, how it was designed, and how the list grew over twenty-one years. Indexes help a reader find a work by name or artist.
