- Scope and Content:
- Colophon reads: 'There are 275 copies of this book, and it has been a pleasure to print some of the very best bookplates ever made. Of these, forty copies (thirty-two for sale) contain a chemise holding four proofs of drawn bookplates, signed by the artist. The paper is T. H. Saunders HP, the type Van Dijck set at Whittington by Peter Pugwash Sanderson, and the reproductions of the bookplates were printed by Smith Settle, who also bound the book.' This is one of the 32 copies with four drawn bookplates [North Lee nos. 36, 40, 43, 52] signed and dated by Shirley Smith. Quarter bound in tan book cloth, boards covered in wood-grain paper; the clamshell box is covered in matching cloth lined with wood-grain paper. Note to Roger W. Moss from Simon Lawrence, The Fleece Press, laid in. Booklet 'More Fleece Press Books for 2005' (printed in an edition limited to 1200 copies) also laid in. This lavish catalogue of Shirley Smith's bookplates produced through 2003 was one of North Lee's last publications; in it he assigned numbers to the bookplates that are used throughout this checklist. For Shirley Smith's bookplates created after 2003 the numbering sequence has been continued. See bookplate list (Section III).
