"In the present volume, 100 pages have been reproduced from the original Kelmscott Chaucer, one of the supreme achievements in the history of book making. These pages contain all 87 of the woodcut illustrations after designs by Burne-Jones and all of Morris's large borders and decorated initial words. A supplementary section gives examples of all the ornamented initial letters which Morris designed for the Kelmscott Press."-- from publisher's note on t.p. verso.
