Hardcover. Etat : Very good. First printing, sixteenmo size, 87 pp. The Saint Dominic's Press, founded by Harry (Hilary) Douglas Clarke Pepler, flourished at Ditchling, Sussex, from 1916 to 1936. The first home of the Press was "a disused stable", with a hundred-year-old Stanhope hand-press which supposedly had belonged to William Morris. Pepler endeavored to do everything possible by hand, believing that such would both produce the best results and also be a "more individual or 'humane'.product". He therefore "preferred the handpress to the machine, handmade to machine-made paper, and handset founder's type to the products of typesetting machines." ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in quarter-cloth silver paper boards with "Desmond Chute engraving of St Dominic on front board. Title page engraving Dominican Friar (E48) by David Jones." Printed by hand on a Stanhope Press; sixteenmo size (5.9" x 4.6"), pagination: [1-3] i-ix [x-xi] 1-62 [1 page blank, colophon]. ___CONDITION: Volume is very good overall, with a strong, square text block and solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; front and rear silver boards have a slight mottled loss of color, the corners are bumped and rubbed; please note this copy is missing the glassine dust-jacket called for in the bibliography. ___CITATION: Saint Dominic's Press Bibliography, no.
