Wallace Nethery (1910-1996) was a librarian at the USC Hoose Library. He
purchased his first Kelsey miniature press in 1955. This list contains
his first effort as a printer, _Mr. H. in America_, which focused on one
of his favorite literary figures, Charles Lamb. Over the years, Nethery
produced in the neighborhood of 51 books and pamphlets, many of which
were miniature books. 

With his wife Corry, Wallace Nethery collaborated with many important
figures in the Los Angeles miniature book scene, as well as Los Angeles
fine printers in general; this list documents shared projects with
Dawson's Book Shop, the Plantin Press, Francis. J. Weber, Margaret
Class, and others. 

I hope you enjoy reading about a librarian-printer who deserves further
recognition. 

Let me know if there is anything here you would like to have. 

Kind Regards,
