A small water stain to the bottom of the first three pages of issue one, as well as boards, and the paper d.w of issue 2 is torn along the fold.

It was later known under the Roycrofters name. The Roycroft Printing shop produced the journals as well as other books. Good Arts and Crafts interest. The Society of the Philistines was an association of book lovers and folks who write. Organised to further good-fellowship among men and women who believe in allowing the widest liberty to individuality in thought and expression. (Book ref. 6040)  £20.00
