Early private presses 1730-1900 / David Chambers.

A two-volume account of the early private presses active in the British Isles in the 18th and 19th centuries (not including the Kelmscott and Eragny Presses, which have already been comprehensively covered elsewhere). The publication does include details of presses worked from domestic premises, where the press was worked at home, or in some cases within a school. It does not include commercial enterprises. There are over a hundred reproductions along with a bibliography of around 1,750 books and 850 pieces of ephemera printed at the presses. (Adapted from publisher's pre-publication statement)
