Notes:

"A love for beautiful books and a slight knowledge of the technical processes of their making have created in me a desire to build some volumes by the labor of mine own hands ... Therefore have I established, in Snohomish, Washington, what it has pleased me to call The Handcraft Shop, wherein, from time to time, I shall print by hand a few books, each one as beautifully as may like in my power. Of this, the first volume to issue from the Shop, I have printed an edition of one hundred copies, of which this is number [blank] ... "--Pages [3]-[4].
