The guide includes a Book Work section containing three parts: one of 81 definite books of Bradley's own execution, one listing those exhibiting the Bradley stamp but with no confirming documentation, and one listing those using his designs but probably not produced by him. The remaining sections document magazine covers, advertisements, illustrations, posters, and other works. Bradley, Will H. (illustrator).…

BRADLEY (1868-1962), bibliographer Will Ransom said: "There was another man who, like Charles Ricketts, had printing done under his supervision, mostly for commercial purposes but with an occasional book, but who contributed largely to the typographical awakening [of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,] of the time. Perhaps, under other circumstances, Will Bradley, whose personal work bore the imprint of the Wayside Press, might have done as much creative work in book design as his contemporaries across the sea, for he was, and still is, a designer of marked originality and sound taste." The Wayside Press makes this a Massachusetts imprint, although Bradley would work internationally as well as in Boston and New York. (p. 73). REFS: Bambace, A15. W. Ransom (1929) pp. 73, 445.
