A collection of printed diary entries by Una Jeffers (1884-1950) which she wrote when she revisited Ireland in 1929 with her husband and poet, Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962), and their twin sons, Donnan and Garth.

Ward Ritchie (1905-1996) was an American printer, book designer, book collector, and author. He was a noted member of the Los Angeles printing and arts communities. Paul Landacre (1893-1963) was an American printmaker who, like, Ritchie, was also a prominent figure of the Los Angeles arts community. Landacre is best-known for his linocuts and wood engravings. He was associated with Ritchie and the Los Angeles book dealer, Jake Zeitlin.
