This is a catalogue of the inscriptions of Eric Gill. Over 900 items are known and all are included in this book, ranging from his first inscription on stone in 1901 to his design for his own gravestone in 1940. David Peace has based his research on Gill's brother, Evan Gill's inventory. It now includes over 100 previously unrecorded inscriptions. The book complements "Eric Gill: The Engravings".
