  (Ashendene Press) Hornby, C.H. St J. A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BOOKS PRINTED AT THE ASHENDENE PRESS MDCCCXCV - MCMXXXV.
Chelsea Ashendene Press 1935 4to. full leather with a stamped gilt design on the front cover and title in gilt on spine, five raised bands, top edge gilt, others uncut, original marbled paper-covered slipcase. (viii), 172 pages.
Limited to 390 numbered and signed copies (Bibliography XL; Leaf Book - Chalmers 65). The last book of the press. Printed on paper specially made by Joseph Batchelor & Sons and hand-printed by Hornby. Contains an historical introduction by Hornby followed by the detailed bibliographical descriptions of both the books and the ephemera printed at the press. Illustrated with collotype and photogravures (printed by Emery Walker), showing plates of bindings and several of the hand-painted vellum copies. Also includes examples of woodcuts, facsimile pages from important books, printer's marks, samples of initial letters, watermarks, and a few actual specimens of press work (thus making this a leaf book). With some initial letters filled in by hand by Graily Hewitt. Hornby's introduction is most informative about his goals in establishing the Press, and also reveals his personality and sense of humor - at one point he jokes about collectors' frustrations at obtaining copies of a book with a very small limitation. Four page prospectus of books dated February, 1931, loosely inserted. Slipcase shows minor rubbing. Leather rubbed along hinges with rub through at bottom of spine.

  (Bookbinding) THE MISS MARGARET SIDNEY DAVIES COMPLETE COLLECTION OF SPECIAL GREGYNOG BINDINGS.
Antwerp de Zilverdistel N.V. Rare Books 1995 thick 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. lvi, 627, (3) pages.
The original Gregynog Press produced 42 books under its own imprint. Margaret Sidney Davies (1884-1963), co-founder and -owner of the Press, had a complete set of these books in special bindings mostly designed and/or executed by Gregynog's binder, George Fisher. Entries are extensive and detailed: for ex., no.19, Milton's Comus with engravings by Blair Hughes-Stanton (who in this case also designed the binding), gives title and colophon collation and indicates contents and typography, ornamentation, paper, printing history and information, and discusses the binding in a page-length paragraph; a following 6-page section entitled "background" discusses the coming of B. Hughes-Stanton to Gregynog and the design of the book, concluding with two pages of notes. There are four full-page color illustrations, making in toto an entry of 18 pages. Front matter covers the history of the press, and the catalogue concludes with a census of complete sets of Gregynog special bindings, a bibliography, and index. Interesting as a discussion of Gregynog bindings. The Davies set was actually sold before this catalogue could be printed. Several loosely inserted cards and slips pertaining to Zilverdistel offerings. Endpapers reproduce a photograph of Gregynog Hall.
