Newtown Bird & Bull Press 1987 oblong 8vo. quarter morocco with tips in leather, leather spine label, a reproduction in gilt of one of the ream wrappers on the front cover. 77, (3) pages followed by the 24 actual samples
First edition, limited to 325 numbered copies. Printed on mouldmade Hahnemuhle paper. Hans and Tanya Schmoller found a cache of Chinese tea chest (or tinsel) paper in England that had been in storage for fifty years. This very colorful paper is no longer being manufactured. The book reprints much of the correspondence between Morris and Schmoller on the production of this book that occurred before Schmoller's death. His wife Tanya took the notes that he had written and produced the essay on the paper which follows the correspondence. The samples (mostly 6 x 8.5 inches) are the best of the large lot and have been treated by Morris to prevent further oxidation or degradation. Original prospectus loosely inserted.

(Thomas, Peter and Donna) Thomas, Peter THE HISTORY OF PAPERMAKING IN THE PHILIPPINES.
With Illustrations by Donna Thomas Santa Cruz Peter and Donna Thomas 2005 oblong 4to quarter red Moroccan leather (blind stamped with the title) with T'nalak handcloth-covered boards, red cloth-covered slipcase (50 pages)
This book, limited to 75 copies, was designed, handset, letterpress printed and hand bound by Peter and Donna Thomas using paper that they made and featuring eleven samples of paper handmade by Filipinos from indigenous plants. The text, written by Peter, based on nearly twenty years of research, offers the first comprehensive history of the subject. It includes discussions of Philippine precursors to paper (including wooden scrolls and bark cloth), a survey of the first printed books made in the Philippines and the paper they were printed on, descriptions of a number of indigenous papermaking fibers (especially abaca), and a chronological history of both commercial and hand papermaking in the Philippines up to the year 2000. Donna cut the block print illustrations. The Thomases printed the book in three colors on a Vandercrook Universal One press, using 18 point Goudy Modern (and Neuland types for titles). Notes and appendices were set monotype by Rich Hopkins using Pat Taylor's unique English monotype mats. The binding structure was developed by Peter and Donna to accomodate the special requirements of this book: the short and long pages create space for the paper samples, which are sewn in place so that they can move with changes in humidity. Each book is quarter bound with a red leather spine and boards covered with T'nalak (a Philippine ikat dyed fabric, made with spun abaca fiber, woven on a backstrap loom) and is housed in a red cloth-covered slipcase with the title and an inscription on the front.
