Item description from seller

The author's name "Sewell" is in ink on the upper left of the title label. Light creasing and abuse of all edges. Faintest sunning of spine and tail edges.; This book begins with a brief essay of the history of St. Dominic's Press, Ditchling, Sussex, England. Included is a checklist of publications not listed in a previous bibliography of the press. Will Ransom mentioned how difficult it was to assess the output of the press, given the myriad variants of its books. The author Brocard Sewell was a writer, editor, bibliographer, printer, publisher, and ultimately a Carmelite priest embroiled in various controversies. This bound essay is an offprint from Matrix 4, 1984. Matrix was published by The Whittington Press of John and Rosalind Randle. Matrix was an annual compendium of essays and printing samples related to book design, typography, letterpress, and all things related to the book arts. Each issue had the writing or featured the work of many practitioners. Far from being the usual compendium of the arts, Matrix was written by experts, for experts. Paginated 135-144, so 10 pp. On fine woven paper. In stiff, mould made, black paper wraps with paper title label. This 4to sized book is 11" x 7 3/4". Clean and Very Good condition.; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 10 pages.…
