The Clark Library holds an extensive collection of limited-edition monographs, printed in relief or intaglio, focused on high-quality production and a careful attention to handwork. This major area of the Clark Library’s collection includes examples of fine printing in the broader area of book arts, with an emphasis on American fine presses — California printers in particular — and works representative of the Third Stream, including selected contemporary book artists from across the country and around the world. Works of these presses are supplemented and contextualized with reference books and the personal libraries of printers and publishers, as well as prints, printers’ proofs, prospectuses, ephemera, and archives that provide a broad perspective of the arts of the book. For highlights of these collections, ranging from William Morris’s Kelmscott Press to modern Southern California printers and book artists, please consult the research guides below
