Excerpt from Alaska BasketryThe spirit that has inspired the members of the Club has, we believe, been caught by the printers to whom the work was intrusted in its final stages, and they have given it the benefit of the most painstaking, Sincere expression of their handicraft, Of which they are capable.Other monographs that the Beaver Club will bring out in future may achieve something more pretentious in conception, arrangement or workmanship, but as they do so, we will feel that it is, in a measure, a development from the patient and serious effort that has been given to make this first publication as nearly perfect in its expression Of our idea] as possible.There can be no keener feeling of the gratification that springs from an earnestly performed effort to produce something that will add to the things rare and beautiful in the world, than the feeling that the Beaver Club enjoys in being able now to witness to kindred spirits in the world, this, its first step toward the realization Of the great dream of rare, of lovely, of perfect workmanship.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
