The Definitive Study of Gogmagog Press [GOGMAGOG PRESS]. CHAMBERS, David. FRANKLIN, Colin. TUCKER, Alan. Gogmagog. Morris Cox & the Gogmagog Press. Pinner: Private Libraries Association, 1991. First edition. Octavo (10 11/16 x 7 1/8 inches; 271 x 181 mm.). 184 pp. Illustrated throughout in color and black & white. Publisher's original orange cloth with black stripes. A fine copy, clean and well preserved. The definitive study of Gogmagog Press and its founder Morris Cox, one of the most individual and influential figures in postwar British private-press printing. Drawing on close personal knowledge, archival research, and first-hand technical understanding, the authors chart Cox's uncompromising approach to typography, illustration, and book design, as well as the press's deep engagement with folk art, wood engraving, and English vernacular traditions. Lavishly illustrated with examples of Gogmagog books, ephemera, trial proofs, and working materials, the volume documents not only the finished productions but also the creative process behind them. Issued by the Private Libraries Association, it stands as the standard reference on the press and an essential resource for collectors, printers, and historians of twentieth-century private printing. A cornerstone reference for libraries and collections concerned with private presses, fine printing, and the continuing legacy of English book arts in the modern era.
