Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-16 00:00:00 John Holmes I enjoyed this a lot (despite how long it took to read it). The book is divided into chapters focusing on the publishing houses that operated in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s and describes why the publishers began their presses, the materials they used when publishing books, and the authors whose work was published. It was an interesting, slightly chatty read.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-26 00:00:00 Richard Silva This presents a detailed and readable account of the various small English-language presses (and their authors and publishers) that sprang up in Paris in the 1920s and 30s. I enjoyed reading it and my only quibble is that the appendix on Seizin, which was previously published, is not only about a non-Parisian house but is written in a completely different style, one best left to the type of specialist bibliophile audience for which it was prepared. That, however, is a very small complaint and Seizin was an expatriate English-language press of the same period.
