From the publisher: “Eight retired papermakers who worked in the Tuckenhay Mill in Devon, England, were interviewed about their daily activities working in the Mill in the late 1990s. The interviews present fascinating accounts about the materials and techniques that went into making paper by hand, a craft that was rarely practiced in England in the 20th c., a craft that changed little from past centuries.”
