engages with the talents of the numerous craftspeople who make books, together with artist illustrators and the authors of the text. Chris Hicks, Tim Wiltshire and the Fine Book Bindery have bound the books some of which are covered with patterned papers made by Ann Muir and Victoria Hall and can differ one from another within the same edition. The differences seek to underline the importance of each book as in itself a unique item, an aspect emphasised by variations between the illustrations which may be included within a single edition. This, and the fact that much of the text is chosen from work written during the Second World War, explains the use of the phrase ‘one time’ for the title of the press.
One of the principal aims is to seek a very high quality of production both in printing and in the paper used, details of which are described in the various editions. This may involve the hand setting of type, offset lithography, or digital reproduction depending on the cost or demands of the job in hand.
