Audubon - Early Drawings

Another beautiful book completed ahead of schedule and beyond expectations.
This 14.5 x 11.5" slipcased edition is extraordinary.

Hi Paul

Thanks. You folks always make us look so good! Of course, the book is triumphant unto itself, but we have also to come to appreciate the extraordinary craftsmanship that Acme brings to each and every project.

Winnie O'Grady

Winnie O'Grady lived to be 101 years old. She was a teacher, a bookbinder, a world traveler, a reader, a person with a love of life and an interest in young people, and she had such a wonderful laugh. Winnie came to work at Acme Bookbinding at the age of 62 and retired at 92. She had more energy than anyone I know. She was an inspiration to us all. She will be missed but not forgotten.
