This is the essential text for any scholar or collector interested in the Roycroft Press in particular and American Arts and Crafts style fine printing and book production in general. It includes a history of the Press as well as a list and detailed description of each book issued arranged by year. When describing Roycroft books, booksellers refer to a volume’s number in McKenna.

The Roycroft Press’s founder Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915) was a marketing genius who initially made a fortune working for the Larkin Soap Company of Buffalo. He later established the Roycroft Community and Shops in East Aurora, New York. The shops included the Roycroft Press which emulated the Kelmscott Press established by William Morris. Hubbard was a prolific writer, publisher, and lecturer with a national following. He and his wife died aboard the Lusitania.
