Book excerpt: "This story of Duncan Glen's search for Joseph Mardel, a forgotten man of twentieth-century Scottish literary publishing and printing, is a good read. It is also a contribution to the story of the continuing Scottish literary renaissance that began in the 1920s with Hugh MacDiarmid's volumes of poems in Scots and continued throughout the twentieth century. Thanks to the heroes of this book it may even be continuing today!" "The Serif Books imprint may be largely forgotten but, as Glen shows, Joseph Mardel was, in the late 1940s and through the 1950s, a key performer in the impressive story of the revival of literary publishing in Scotland. The heroes of this book are the publishers of the 1940s and 1950s - Joseph Mardel of Serif Books, William Maclellan, Callum Macdonald, and Calum and Kenneth Campbell of Caledonian Press and Castle Wynd Printers - but they were brave on behalf of poets, novelists, dramatists, critics and editors whose names virbrate through this work."--BOOK JACKET.
