It was decided that Miller's lecture should be published in a limited edition and that 'any proceeds, after the subscribed guarantee, [be put to] the benefit of the Guild Chest. The booklet is to be printed in Bro. Graily Hewitt's new "Treyford" type, he having offered in conjunction with Bro. Miller to design and set out the Title page' (AWG annual report, 1929, pp. 5-6).
Policy: 'Meetings are held fortnightly, when papers are read and their subjects illustrated as fully as possible. Visitors must be introduced by a member' (Year's Art, 1913, pp. 169-70).
