THE ALLEN PRESS BIBLIOGRAPHY.
by Allen, Lewis M.
One of 140 copies hand-set and printed by Dorothy and Lewis Allen on hand-made paper made especially for this edition. (Allen no.46; Leaf Book - Chalmers 171). With an elaborate title page vine design by Malette Dean (probably) hand-colored by Dorothy Allen. The text of the book is scattered with many small vignettes, alphabetic, and decorative engravings used by the Allens in their books. Includes many sample pages from their works. The book has Fortuny hand-blocked cloth sides in the Richelieu pattern. The spine and the slipcase are covered in a greenish-gold cloth. In addition to describing the books, this volume also serves as an autobiography of the Allens and their life as book designers and printers. There is even space reserved to describe a few of the books they promise to print after this bibliography is made available! They have followed St. John Hornby's example in producing a bibliography that in itself encapsulates the finest work of the press. Prospectus loosely inserted.
