Accompanied by a paper bound copy of A Message to Garcia, Hubbard's best-selling inspirational essay which bemoans the difficulties of finding decent, self-sufficient workers. Hubbard is known best as the founder of the Roycroft artisan community in East Aurora, New York. The Roycrofters produced handsome, if sometimes eccentric, books printed on handmade paper, and operated a fine bindery, a furniture shop, and shops producing modeled leather and hammered copper goods. They were an influential exponent of the Arts and Crafts Movement and a leading producer of Mission Style products.

Condition: Typical folds on both letters, some staining of the Morris letter on the right fold. The paper bound book has some brittle edges towards the top right margin.
