Vintage Chapbooks

Small, deliberate, elegant and very well considered, these publications were dedicated to the art of the book and designed ‘in the service of the word’. Each employs carefully considered paper, conscientious hand typesetting, illustrations commissioned or found to further the tone and attitude of the writing, hand sewing and binding – all parts of the hand made book process made these chapbooks collectibles.
