- Summary:
-
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 author's liberal use of quotes from her correspondence with other printers, artists, librarians, booksellers, enthusiasts and occasional detractors adds considerably to the interest. Lavishly illustrated with linocuts and wood engravings created for Wayzgoose publications by Mike Hudson.
