Fairleigh Dickinson University (English professor|dean of Liberal Arts) - Short biography
- Between 1925 and 1934, Loyd Haberly printed sixteen books at Seven Acres Press, Long Crendon, co. Bucks, most of which he authored himself. He produced five books (or maybe only four?) as controller of the Gregynog Press between 1933 and 1935. After leaving Gregynog he produced one book at the Stoney Down Press before leaving England for the United States, where he printed another thirteen books between 1940 and 1976, all from his own pen. The University of Iowa biography (above) suggests Haberly wrote primarily to provide himself with fodder for his love of printing.
