Book Synopsis
Alice C Morse (1863-1961) was a prolific and versatile designer during the heyday of the American Decorative Arts Movement. Though her fame has waned since the early twentieth century, her work may be familiar to admirers of artist-designed publishers' bindings of the period 1890-1910. This book documents the life and work of Morse.

Trade Review
"[It] will be an invaluable reference tool and is likely to set a standard for future studies of designer American publishers' bindings - if only we had similar information available for the work of Sarah Wyman Whitman and Margaret Armstrong!" - Michael Winship, Professor of English, at the University of Texas at Austin"
