Edward Walters, wood engraver and publisher who ran his own private press in the 1930s, also taught at Marlborough College and had links to St Dominic’s Press, along with various presses operated by religious orders. His work has been shown in several issues of Matrix, but it is high time his work is recorded in book form.

Tom Walters has written a short biographical note on his father, and has been able to provide photographs which handsomely augment the mere three previously known. Richard Russell was taught to print while at Marlborough by Walters, 70 years ago, and here writes of his debt to this unassuming and modest man. John Gray has produced a revised bibliography of the printed work, including Walters’ ephemera, enlarging Fr. Brocard Sewell's previous checklist.

A whopping 120 letterpress pages, 50 blocks (and 40 inserted colour illustrations), yes, printed letterpress and now available. There are 225 copies (200 for sale).

Price is £192, postage £6.
