The Private Presses of San Serriffe. A Talk by Henry Morris Given at the Typophiles Christmas Luncheon in New York December 16, 1986 by Henry Morris
A fun spoof, working from Henry Morris' Fine Printing, Publishing, and Bookselling in the 1980s: a short foreword followed by some printed waste sheets. Greatly amusing if you like this sort of thing.
Two short, amusing typographical anecdotes from a 1907 volume of The Inland Printer, with an added piece on papermaking in Zambia. Morris' annotations are instructive, as is his prefatory note about his first days in the printing business.
Henry Morris' unsparing, humorous, and incredibly useful notes on thirteen years of printing and publishing.
My Log & Diary, 1994-2005: Interspersed with Anecdotes and Observations on Book Collecting, Printing, Private Presses and Other Bookish Matters by Henry Morris
The successor volume to Two Birds with One Stone, carrying Morris' printing and publishing jobs through to 2005. As with the previous, filled with great information about his production processes, successes, and setbacks.
