A minor obsession...
If you have a chance, find a copy of something published by TN Foulis press in Edinburgh (and London). They published about 470 different book between 1904 and 1925. The vast majority of these titles were produced at the highest standards...wonderful colored buckram bindings, color plates tipped in, the ever elegant Auriol typeface and rose-watermarked paper. I love this press. You need to hold one of these volumes to appreciate what they were striving for at Foulis. Now I just need to find someone who wants to build a collection around the press...
