Description: Hardcover. Number 16 of 350 copies. The handsome bibliography of this esteemed press lists all books issued by the press from its inception in 1958 through those printed in 1980. The press continued to publish books until its founder, Henry Morris, closed the press in 2013. The bibliography is divided into two sections: those done under Morris's own imprint, and those done for other publishers. In his introduction, Taylor states that the technical descriptions of the books are fairly extensive but avoid a slavish view of completeness. The books issued with the press imprint include commentaries from Morris. In addition to these two sections, the book includes a section of selected ephemera, and one with citations to articles by or about Morris. This copy does not include the separate folder of press ephemera or the prospectus. Bound by Grey Parrot in covers with a repeated design of images of a bird or a bull, with a yellow spine with gilt titling.
