The Ideal Book: From an Address Delivered by William Morris, Founder of the Kelmscott Press, Before the Bibliographical Society of London, MDCCCXCIII

Description

In 1920, Edwin and Robert Grabhorn moved to San Francisco and founded the Grabhorn Press. By choosing Morris's text as one of the first products of the new press, they announced to their new home exactly what to expect from their press: carefully set type, lush handmade paper, and an elegance of design. With John Henry Nash, the Grabhorn Press was a regular printer of the Book Club of California's publications.
