This series documents the writing, development, design, publicity, and publication of the artist book Domestic Pensées by Ian Hamilton Finlay, which was published by Aggie Weston's in 2004. Materials consist of correspondence, drafts, mockups, photographs, ephemera, a copy of Domestic Pensées, and Finlay's notebook of material. The notebook that he kept contains "fragments, observations, verbal images, and concrete constellations." The correspondence documents decisions regarding design and production, such as the photographs used in the book, edition size, typeface, layout, and drawings. Some of the correspondents include Tom Bee, David Bellingham, Stephen Duncalf, Colin Sackett, and others. A small amount of correspondence pertains to A Colourful Little Boat, a work on which Mills and Finlay collaborated together, and published through Aggie Weston's in 1998. There are manuscript and typescript drafts, fragments, and notes, as well as copies of the manuscript with typeface and design annotations. There are black and white photographic prints in the collection, the majority of which were taken at Stonypath, Finlay's farm and property located in the Pentland Hills of Scotland. There is a small amount of ephemera, such as an Aggie Weston's newsletter, an order form for Domestic Pensées, a brochure, a mockup of the front cover, and an information sheet.
