The RISD Museum has amassed a collection of about 300 artist's books, albums, scrapbooks, and rare volumes. (The RISD Library holds an additional 900 or so artist's books.) One collector-couple's passion for books published by small British presses has swelled the number of artist's books in the Museum's collection over the past several years. The Rocket Press is among the few British establishments still operating full-time for the design and production of high quality letterpress, publishing three or four books a year on their own in addition to commissioned work.

Iron Chords, printed by Jonathan Stephenson at The Rocket Press, is a book of bold, abstract color woodcuts by Brian Blow printed in a long, accordion-fold format without text.
