I was compelled to look up images of Morris' work and was surprised to learn that he actually was a bookbinder and the creator of Kelmscott Press. ...wonder if any of the "stacks" books are published by Kelmscott.

I work with marbled paper and most of these lovely old patterns are still being produced in small workshops today. Some artisans are willing to precisely reproduce an old pattern and many use the old techniques with a personal flair.
