        "With our nation’s democracy at a crossroads, Arion Press, the legendary San Francisco-based fine press, has released its most timely publication in forty years: a hand-set, hand-printed, limited edition print of the Preamble to The United States Constitution, with a heart-stopping introduction by NPR and PBS broadcaster Peter Sagal. 
         In 1987, in association with the Library of Congress, Arion Press published a bicentennial edition of The United States Constitution. That book has since become one of the most collected Arion titles and serves as the inspiration for this unique, limited edition print.
         A mere 52 words, beginning with “We the People,” the Preamble is an aspirational document, charting the country’s intended progress toward perfection. Arion Press’ limited edition print positions this often-cited text for a new audience. As the 2021 Presidential Inauguration approaches, the document’s meaning could not be more timely or more prescient." - arionpress.com/preamble
