Book excerpt: "This sixth volume [of Fleece Press books on John Buckland Wright] comprises an illustrated catalogue raisonné of all the prints JBW produced from metal plates, including drypoint, copper engraving and the intaglio process, from his earliest plates in 1927, to those that he was working on at the time of his death, as well as those that appeared posthumously as illustrations to books he had already completed."--Preface. - "This is the sixth Fleece Press book about the work of John Buckland Wright ...
