318 pages. Softcover. Brand new book. BOOKS ON BOOKS. With his Kelmscott Press and associations with the Arts & Crafts Movement, William Morris helped raise the public's awareness of fine books to new heights. Morris inspired and influenced a generation of other designers and those working in American typography and book design, including Updike, Rogers, Goudy, Bradley, Cleland, Dwiggins, Ransom, Nash and Collins. This landmark study documents the true extent of Morris's influence on American bookmaking. This book is a vital contribution to the history of American design, intellectualism and culture, appealing to not only those interested in book design, art, graphic art and typography, but also to librarians, book collectors and those studying the literature of the period. (Key Words: William Morris, Book Design, Susan Otis Thompson, Books on Books, Arts & Crafts Movement, Typography, Goudy, Dwiggins, Bookmaking, Graphic Arts).
