I call it a reproduction version rather than a facsimile because that is what it is a copy produced by photo-lithography with no attempt to simulate the paper or binding of the original ." At the end of the book is Robert Gibbings's short four-page essay Memories of Eric Gill illustrated with photographs. "Conceived in the fruitful mind of Robert Gibbings this is the Golden Cockerel book usually compared with the Doves Bible and the Kelmscott Chaucer. A flower among the best products of English romantic genius it is also surely thanks to its illustrator Eric Gill the book among all books in which Roman type has been best mated with any kind of illustration" Blackmer.
