From the dust jacket: "Anyone interested in the spread of British fine literature and book design through the private press movement must take Mosher into account. For American popular culture, he was a prime conduit disseminating the more exotic literary fruits of the Aesthetic, Pre-Raphaelite, and Arts and Crafts movements… This exhaustive study not only provides abundant new primary research, including new evidence on royalties paid, but also presents its contents in a novel way. An overview with tables and graphs and a set of highly useful appendices neatly cross-reference with the primary bibliography, now newly augmented with two checklists of publications by Mosher's 'successors'. The opening section is particularly useful in clearly presenting the various series, privately printed books, and books printed on vellum. The full color illustrated section on bindings adds yet another dimension showing the respect Mosher' s imprints command. Acclaims and criticisms of Mosher's publishing balance the record. A descriptive index, and an annotated and cross-referenced bibliography on Mosher himself, round out this work's strengths."
