Joan Didion's debut novel published by Jonathan Cape, 1964.

Stefan and Franciszka Themerson founded Gaberbocchus Press in 1948 in London. It was the product of an artistic collaboration that had begun in Warsaw, where they worked together as experimental film-makers, and wrote and illustrated children’s books. The press published 59 titles in 31 years. They began, in the private press tradition, by hand-printing their first two books on a hand-press on hand-made paper in their home in Maida Vale. Later they used professional printers, for editions of between 1000 and 2000 copies.
