1905/06
This catalogue measures 8" x 6" and has 26 pages plus a 14 page insert A Little Journey to East Aurora and 16 pages of unnumbered pictures of the Campus, Roycrofters and books. Additionally there are 8 mottos that are unnumbered, a two page greeting, the tile page, and a page with a poem for a total of 70 pages. The Poem is by James Whitcomb Riley and reads as follows:
Where smooth the Roycroft presses grind,
Their virgin hand-wrought reams of snow
To russet chamois, silken lined,
Unrivaled volumes marked as low
As two dollars per copy --no
Pelf-yanking parsimony yet
May bold the ducats I let go
For Aucassin and Nicolette.
Note: Cover and several mottoes designed by Dard Hunter.
