The last book that will ever bear the David R Godine imprint is, fittingly, by David Godine himself. It's called Godine at Fifty: A Retrospective of Five Decades in the Life of an Independent Publisher, and it's a safe bet that the people who these days run his company (now called just Godine) will never put out such a volume again.

“Godine at Fifty,” showcasing some 300 of David Godine’s favorite books from his career, is an autobiography of sorts and an elegy for a kind of publishing.
