In the exclusive world of private press publications, book making consists in a practice of gathering a collection and documenting a community of sentiment around Horace Walpole’s Strawberry Hill. This chapter starts with the repurposing of frontispieces in a book acquired by Walpole in 1760, Joseph Ames’s A Collection of Individual Letters, to capture the material culture of specimen collecting that underpins the early history of the book. Book parts function as building blocks for other books, recursive and mobile components in different copies and different titles, from collections of separately printed unique poems and pamphlets gathered under the bespoke title page ‘Detached Pieces Printed at Strawberry-Hill’ to extra-illustrated copies of Description of the Villa … at Strawberry Hill (1774, 1784). Miscellaneous visual and verbal additions to copies of Description mark out the owner and amateur, the sculptor, and the domestic printer’s practice in disciplinary strands of knowledge production (artistic, antiquarian, typographical, classical).
