E-376: E. P. Dutton. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1989. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by E. P. Dutton, New York. 1989. 338 pgs.

Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. Remainder mark present to the top edge. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Eric Gill was the greatest English artist-craftsman of the twentieth century: a typographer and lettercutter of genius and a master in the art of sculpture and wood-engraving. He was a devoted family man and key figure in three Catholic art and craft communities: yet he also believed in complete sexual freedom. In her controversial, landmark biography, originally published in 1989, celebrated biographer Fiona MacCarthy delves into the complex, dark, and contradictory sides of the man and the artist for the first time - and the result is his definitive portrait. EB; 9.3 X 6.2 X 1.4 inches; 338 pages .
