Additional notes:
1982 is the centennial year of the births of two of the book world's most distinguished figures: James Joyce and Eric Gill. Each has contributed in a significant way to the contours of culture in our time. As a salute to these leaders, the Designer Bookbinders have prepared bindings on volumes by or related to Joyce and Gill. To acknowledge through the skills of bookbinding our indebtedness to these artists is a noble act profoundly worthy of their memories, and we are all deeply grateful to the Designer Bookbinders for this visual celebration.

Reference note:
The book by David Sellars is item GB/3338 in the collection.

Several of the featured artists are represented by more than one book.
