DESCRIPTION
Experience a catalog that doubles as a portrait of a craft‑driven shop. This volume showcases how the Roycroft Shop in East Aurora turned bookmaking into a living art through handmade papers, hand‑illumination, and careful binding.
Excerpts highlight the page‑by‑page care, from specially bound editions to illustrated frontispieces and vellum options. It presents a world where workers collaborate like a small workshop community, where design, typography, and material choice matter as much as the text itself.
Ideal for readers who value finely made books, the story of a dedicated workshop, and the heritage of the Roycroft craft movement.
