Description:
Octavo (9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches) Los Angeles: Dawson's Book Shop, 1973. half cloth. 119 pages + (1), bound in patterned paper over boards, limited to 400 copies, "...the designs on the title page, chapter headings and initial letters are made up of typographical border units." Very good condition (bookplate "From the Library of the Iron Bear Press, Gary & Kathy Miller" on front paste down, shadow residue of old labels since removed on front fly leaf and bottom of title page, not affecting contents).

Bound by the second generation of the same Earle Gray Bindery that originally bound all Fine Arts Press books. Illustrated with photo portraits of Thomas E. Williams and examples of his title pages. A nice association: a notable Santa Ana fine press's biography and bibliography that once belonged to a modern fine press that still exists in San Diego.

Especially useful is the bibliography detailing the output of the Press.
