The creative Danish association of typographers and book printers Grafisk Cirkel published more than 100 exclusive and innovative publications between 1936 and 1979. Grafisk Cirkel sought to experiment with the book as an object - its typography, format and quality. The members of Grafisk Cirkel all had daytime jobs at book printers and publishing houses, but needed a place to try out new ideas. In the first few years the works of Grafisk Cirkel was only published in very small issues (c. 20–35) - for members only. After 1940 it upsized and it became possible to subscribe to the publications for collectors outside the circle, but still it was only published in a very limited number. Several of the publications are today rare collectors items.
