The Bibliophile Society of Boston issued 72 finely printed works between 1901 and 1939; among its members were J. Pierpont Morgan, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Edward L. Doheny. The bookbinding presented here is a collaboration between James Brockman and Angela Gray, both former presidents of Designer Bookbinders. Each worked with master bookbinder Sydney Morris Cockerell. Three years after leaving Cockerell's employ Brockman recruited 1970 Glasgow School of Art graduate Angela Gray to join him at his new bindery. The two collaborated for four years before Gray left to start a bindery of her own.
