Sir Francis Meynell, Vera (Mendel) Meynell (1895-1947), and David Garnett co-founded The Nonesuch Press in 1923 in the cellar of Birrell & Garnett's bookshop in Gerrard Street. Vera Meynell co-edited The Week-End Book, an anthology published in 1924 and translated Ernst Toller's Masses and Mann (1923) and Brokenbrow (1926) for The Nonesuch Press.
Sam Goldman of Denver collected books from the revival of printing as a fine art. The Goldman Collection, donated to Special Collections in 1976, includes a complete set of all publications of The Nonesuch Press as well as a number from Ashedene Press, Doves Press, Kelmscott Press and other important publishers of fine printed books.
