About This Item
Oak Knoll Books, 1981 8vo (23.5 cm), [10], 20, [7] pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. Reprint of the 1938 edition. From the blurb: "The bibliography documents the career of The Village Press with meticulous detail and insight. In a short memoir at the beginning of the book, Frederic W. Goudy gives an account of the vicissitudes of a printer's life. The brief section from the diary of Will Ransom, co-founder of the press, gives some idea of the magnitude of the initial problems that were encountered. Despite these difficulties, they were still able to produce books that were an able tribute to William Morris, in many ways Goudy's chief inspiration in book design."
