Newtown, Pa: Bird & Bull Press, 1998. Edition limited to 225 copies, this, the bookbinder Greg Campbell's copy, Campbell-Logan Bindery, and out-of-series; folio, pp. 152, [16]; specimens and facsimile leaves tipped in throughout, illustrated throughout; original quarter black morocco over red cloth-covered boards, red morocco spine label; fine in a black cloth-covered clamshell box with red morocco spine label. The majority of the text is comprised of a synopsis of The Life Work of Dard Hunter, with annotations, with a foreword and introduction by Henry Morris and Dard Hunter II respectively. Only 130 copies of the original two volume Life Work were printed, and this book, with its many samples, illustrations, and an expanded view of both father and son, improves much on the relatively little amount of information available on two important men in the history of papermaking. Forty-Four A61.
