A Printer with My Hands: The Life and Work of Carl P. Rollins

Note: This book is available for pre-order only.*

As a member of a network of printers, designers, and bibliophiles associated with the “Renaissance in American Printing,” Carl Purington Rollins (1880–1960) helped transform graphic design and bibliographic studies in the United States. By applying the ideals of the Arts and Crafts Movement and design principles based on historical precedents to contemporary books and ephemera, this group of practitioners influenced the appearance of printed materials in twentieth-century America. This survey of the life and work of Rollins tells the story of the presses and collaborations with which he was involved.
