Sewn soft cover. The British bookplate scholar Brian North Lee (1936-2007) became aware of Richard Shirley Smith's engraved bookplates in the early 1970s and his several publications on Shirley Smith spanning nearly twenty years (here listed together in chronological order) brought that branch of his art to the attention of an international audience.
