THE PRIVATE PRESS-MAN'S TALE.
Morris, Henry
With illustrations by Lili Wronker.
First edition, limited to 230 numbered copies. Letterpress printed with Van Dijck types on Arches mouldmade paper and bound by Barbara Blumenthal. A humorous collection of satire and prose, inspired by Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. All the text is related to the book arts - book-collecting, bookselling, printing, papermaking, etc. It includes an imaginary interview with William Morris, a great poem about the attitude of FINE PRINT magazine, Henry's explanation of the Handmade Paper Today incident and a review of the antics in Fine Print's book reviews. There are also two excellent articles by Sidney Berger on Book Fairs and Book Scouts. The illustrations have been very well executed and express all the humour of the text. An essential for anybody who is known in the books about books field, because they are bound to have been mentioned! Prospectus loosely inserted.
