Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very handsome book, a pleasure to read and hold, as befits its subject, Liam Miller's Dolmen Press, 1951 to 1987, the year of Miller's death. There's an introduction by Maurice Harmon, two interviews with Liam Miller, an obituary of Miller by the publisher John Calder, 12 other pieces, five fine illustrations from editions of books published by the Dolmen Press, and an etching of Liam Miller by Jack Coughlin. The other contributors include Thomas Kinsella, whose translation of the great Irish epic The Tain was one of Dolmen's triumphs, and the artist Louise le Brocquy, who illustrated The Tain and an edition of James Joyce's Dubliners. As le Brocquy writes, "Liam Miller belonged to that small band of wholly disinterested enthusiasts who enrich our lives. He was an artist enraptured by a vision of perfection for its own sake, by an overriding concern for the thing itself". This copy of The Dolmen Press: A Celebration is not quite in perfect condition, but it is very good, with only a few minor defects, such as a little bit of bumping to the top right hand corner of the front board, a small crease across the inside of the top outer corner of the back board, and some marks of shelfwear and handling to the dust jacket. The book ends with Kinsella's graveside tribute to Miller and his achievements, "based on a concern for the Irish tradition in all its manifestations".
