(Jadwiga Jarvis) The Wayzgoose Affair.

The Wayzgoose Affair is a unique and totally fascinating story of one of Australia's most remarkable private presses whose books have been collected, exhibited and admired locally and overseas for over two decades.

The characters and protagonists are marvellously presented, both directly and indirectly. One can see and hear them as they sit long into the night, working at the press or engrossed in a passionate debate about books, art, politics, and the politics of book arts. The author's liberal use of quotes from her correspondence with other printers, artists, librarians, booksellers, enthusiasts and occasional detractors adds considerably to the interest, especially as those quoted are such fascinating people.

290 x 360 mm. 192 pages with over 300 color illustrations. Hard cover with dust jacket. Edition limited to 500. Our copies are specially signed by the author.
