(Miller 84). Included is a pamphlet on the preliminaries and index to the series, a subscription form, and a notice from the general editor. The Yeats Centenary Papers, published by Dolmen Press, commemorated the centenary of the birth of the famous Irish author W.B. Yeats. The series was "devised to allow scholars to explore, in whatever length necessary, aspects of Yeats's life and work" (Miller 84). 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. Very good .
