VERY GOOD PLUS. Liam Miller and his wife Josephine founded the Dolmen Press in 1951. From the outset, the Press printed Irish poetry and literature using the techniques of fine press printing with expertly designed page layout, typography, and illustrations. Liam Miller supervised the production of nearly 324 books until his death in 1987, the same year the press closed. The Press's commitment to high quality printing and its exclusive focus on Irish authors and artists had a lasting influence on Irish publishing. Dolmen Press publications exemplify the rich culture and heritage of Irish craftsmanship, literature, and book design. The Dolmen Chapbooks, printed early in the history of the Press, display these founding principles. Each Chapbook exhibits the poetry of Irish authors with illustrations by Irish artists. "The idea behind the Dolmen chapbooks was to print short texts with illustrations, using various type formats and techniques within a uniform page size... The series gives a fair picture of the very personal interests which informed the Press at this time, and several of the titles were issued in other formats" (Miller 17).
