Peter and Frances Grant at the Hestan Isle Press make rather special handmade books. They are letterpress printed on the Hand-press from individual letters of metal type, and all are signed limited editions.
Some are Miniature Books, some larger, some are illustrated by Frances Grant (who also designs the slip-cases), and all are hand-bound using artificial leathers, book-cloths, and interesting papers. Books Worth Keeping!
The books are bought by collectors all over Britain, America, Canada and Europe.
My personal favourite is the THE WANDERER. A translation by Peter and Frances Grant of the familiar Anglo-Saxon poem. Letterpress printed in three colours. Cover and Title page decoration by Frances Grant.
Limited edition of 30 copies.
