Cresset Press : catalogue 1927 - 1934
The Cresset Press was formed in 1927 by Dennis Cohen and published a fascinating selection of books for 40 years until it was sold upon the retirement of the two owners retired in 1966/7. This small catalogue is very avant-garde; the cover and a series of black pages with red text, each overlain with a sheet of acetate describing the title and author. Spirally bound this copy has suffered a little but it remains an interesting item. At times the Press had some association with James Shand of the Shenval Press and this certainly has a 'feel' of some of their work.
