Lavishly illustrated in color and black-and-white, this early out-of-print book is a definitive pictorial guide to
ROYCROFT COLLECTIBLES – Encompassing the Full Range of Items Related to Elbert Hubbard, Founder of the Roycroft Shops, with Over 100 Illustrations to Guide Collectors. By Charles F. Hamilton, A.S. Barnes & Co., Inc., NY, 1980.
'The authors note the Roycroft/Hubbard memorabilia: the products of a uniquely creative enterprise that generated handsomely bound and beautifully printed and illuminated books, a distinctive style of furniture, finely handcrafted pieces of copper, brass, silver, wrought iron, and leather. Since that time, Hamilton’s prediction of an increased interest in collecting this memorabilia has come true.

In fact, this interest has grown so fast in the past five years that collectors have encouraged Hamilton to put together a comprehensive text to guide them on the wide range of Roycroft collectibles. This book, then, is a who, what, where, and why of collecting Roycroft. It is a pictorial as well as a textual description of the Collectibles, and to date, there has been no other work on the subject that is so comprehensive and so profusely and beautifully illustrated. Hamilton has included over 100 illustrations, a number of them in color, and all certain to be a great help to either the beginning or experienced collector.' Attention is given to Roycroft artists and artisans, to company history, to values, places to find collectibles, making this a comprehensive and desirable collector’s guide.
