From the outset, the Press printed Irish poetry and literature using the techniques of fine press printing with expertly designed page layout, typography, and illustrations. Liam Miller supervised the production of nearly 324 books until his death in 1987, the same year the press closed. The Press's commitment to high quality printing and its exclusive focus on Irish authors and artists had a lasting influence on Irish publishing. Dolmen Press publications exemplify the rich culture and heritage of Irish craftsmanship, literature, and book design.
