The series contains four volumes of scrapbooks, specially bound in stamped calf and enclosed in titled slipcases, that were created to hold material by and about the Press of the Woolly Whale. Each contains samples of printed ephemera produced by the press such as stationery, invitations, luggage tags, mailing labels, postcards, and pamphlets, as well as clippings from newspapers and trade journals regarding publications of the press. A fifth scrapbook had a detached spine and front cover, and no slipcase; the material within had only been laid in between the first few pages in the front of the volume so it was removed and foldered, and the scrapbook discarded. Additional copies of material found in the scrapbooks may also appear in Series IV, Press of the Woolly Whale Publications.
