The World's First "One Man Book"

In 1915-1916 Wiliam Joseph "Dard" Hunter, having made his own paper by hand in his own paper mill, cut his own punches to create his own typeface, cast his own type, printed on his own hand press in Marlborough, New York, 250 copies of The Etching of Figures by William Aspenwall Bradley. Because Hunter was the first person in history to single-handedly create all the elements of the book from the paper to the type to the printing, this work has been called the world's first "one man book."
