We, at The Old Stile Press, were thrilled to be shown a recently rediscovered collection of book designs made in the 1940s by our good friend, the artist Bert Isaac, largely for his own pleasure as if he were fulfilling commissions such as he might have been given by publishers.

Immediately we began to wonder how these delightful works might be shared with others, Our final plan involved publishing a large format book (374x260mm) in which more than twenty items are reproduced in colour and at full size. Nicolas McDowall has written a Preface about this fascinating period of book design that Bert Isaac was 'adding to'. The works are inkjet printed on separate sheets and tipped into the hardback book.
