SMALL CUTE LITTLE BOOK

I discovered this little book by chance at a bookstore somewhere... and LOVED IT! Purely visual and no, I do not think you need a magnifying lens to see the designs.... Lovely job!

This book has quality color reproductions covering a broad spectrum of Morris's work. I love it. However, I wish Phaidon had come out with the same book at a much larger scale in hardcover. The large book "William Morris" edited by Linda Parry contains good visuals and a great collection of essays about him, so I would recommend that book instead if you are looking for something big and comprehensive. "Designs of William Morris" is very nice for the price, though, and makes a good introduction to his work.
