Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive work about all facets of the Dard Hunter life. It has captured the essence of Hunter, his world, and his vision. He was a unique blend of craftsman and scholar. He was not only a designer in the Arts & Crafts Movement in the early decades of this century, but also a private press printer, paper historian, author, collector, and museum director. He traveled the world between the two world wars collecting tools, equipment, raw materials, and paper specimens, which now comprise the Dard Hunter Research Center at the Robert C. Williams American Museum of Papermaking in Atlanta, Georgia.
