Reviews
The Kelmscott Chaucer is very famous because William Morris poured such meticulous craftsmanship on the production of the original book. Getting a chance to see one of the only 438 copies of the book isn't going to happen, but this reproduction is inexpensive and well worth acquiring. Morris included ALL the designs and letters used in the other books from his Kelmscott Press. The book includes all 87 of the woodcuts by Sir Edward Burne-Jones. The book is NOT the full text of the original Kelmscott Chaucer, but the book includes 111 slightly oversized pages. Calligraphers, graphic artists, and many other people would find this book fascinating.
