Press book

Press book is the older term for books published by private presses run on artisanal lines, that is, small workshops for composing and printing that did not produce for commercial purposes but rather for a small, select circle or even just for internal circulation. Press books figured prominently in late 19th-century England and America as part of the Arts and Crafts Movement (Kelmscott Press, William Morris), later also in Germany (Ernst-Ludwig-Presse) as a backlash against industrial mass production. More recently the term has been used for works printed in small, often severely limited editions following the tradition of the book as artwork movement.
