The Cranach Press, though located in Ger-many, was inspired by and became an integral product of the evolving private press move-ment.in England. Following advice from Emery Walker, new typefaces were drawn by Ed-ward Johnston, and cut by Edward Prince and George Friend; later H. Gage-Cole was called in as pressman to print the wood-engravings of Gordon Craig, Eric Gill, and Aristide Maillol. Their work is recorded in a superbly illustrated book which has been co-published by the Tri-ton Verlag and Williams College in Williams-town, MA. It offers nor merely a translation of  the original German edition but an enlarged version for an Anglo-American audience. It in-cludes Essays by John Dreyfus, Gunnar Kal-dewey, Anne Hyde Greet, Lindsay Newman, R. Müller-Krumbach and John Dieter  Brinks, among others, with an extensive documen-tation and an entirely new, illustrated biblio-graphy of the Cranach Press. Designed by Sa-bine Golde and John Dieter Brinks the book comprises 456 pages, with over 250 illu-strations almost all in colour. The price of this volume which is bound in red cloth, with a black slip-case, will be € 210 (plus postage and packing). The ISBN is 3-935518-66-9. There will be a special edition of thirty copies numbered from I to XXX each of which will contain a woodcut signed by Edward Gordon Craig from his suite on  yellow Japanese paper for Kesslers late 1929 Cranach Press Hamlet.
