Octavo. 59pp. One of 169 copies. A collection of five essays on hand papermaking, with contributions by Dard Hunter, J. Barcham Green, John Mason, Henry Morris and Norman H. Strouse. Six wood-engravings and many amusing drawings illustrate the process of hand papermaking. This is Morris's second book about paper, and only the third to be published under the Bird & Bull imprint. With the bookplate of paper scholar Howard Wallingford, and with a ten-page TLs from noted designer/printer Ceil Smith Thayer laid in. In his bibliography of Bird & Bull, Morris notes that he went about making the paper for the book the wrong way, so it browned rapidly. This copy contains a note, likely by Wallingford, indicating that it underwent deacidification in 1983; consequently, it shows considerably less browning at edges of pages than is typically encountered. Overall, a fine copy in full brown morocco with gilt-titling. Accompanied by two prospectuses, one featuring the erroneous swapping of Henry Morris's and John Mason's names, the other corrected and addressed to Wallingford.
