Bulletin in Bold Characters, a bibliography and history of the Seton Village Press launched near Santa Fe by famed naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton. The book was written by proprietor/printer Maurice Taylor, who shared responsibility for the publishing venture with his wife Marceil, an illustrator and bookbinder. Highlighting his association with Southwest poets, authors, and artists, Taylor details the design decisions and work that went into crafting more than twenty Seton Village Press limited editions produced from 1938 through 1943. Though brief, the five-year history reflects a rich contribution to the literature of the region. The handsomely crafted edition is punctuated with line artwork reprinted from the orginal Seton Press editions.
