Patterned cloth, 8vo, 27 cm, 184 pp, 16 colour plates, many ills. From the preface: "Morris Cox started the Gogmagog Press in 1957, when he was in his mid-fifties, intending to publish for himself the poetry that he could not get published elsewhere. To his poetry he was to add original prints of great beauty, making books which I have long thought to be among the most important to come from any of the post-war private printers. Some collectors have sought his books for the excitement of their prints, some for the quality of the text; for myself it has been the originality of his temperament, displayed in text and prints combined, that I have found so desirable. The editions have been so limited that his work has only been at all well known to a small handful of collectors, and we hope that this account of his press will make him more generally, more properly known. He has himself been very reclusive, pleading that many visitors would hinder his work, and that his workshop was in any case too small to allow of entertainment. Those who have been fortunate enough to get to know him have been overwhelmed by the breadth of his knowledge, the depth of his philosophy, set off though it has been by the modesty of his nature."
