Additional notes:
Susan Allix has been making Fine Press Artist's books for five decades and in that time has produced seventy-seven titles, as well as nine children's books and special bindings for thirty-eight other books.

This book celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of her first publication, and provides a detailed appreciation of her aesthetic, background to her life and training, coverage of her collectors and booksellers, a list of her books held in public collections, and a detailed catalogue raisonee. It is based on extensive interviews with Allix and an examination of her books and archives.

She has been called 'the greatest book-maker of her generation' - a claim that calls for this timely authoritative work on Allix and her books.
