About This Item
New York: Albondocani Press / Ampersand Books, 1983. . 5” X 7” inches. Folded holiday card. Very good. Black and white gravure with deckle edge paper. Original. Autographed by press founder George Bixby. Text on back reads: “Published in December 1983, this card is limited to four hundred copies to be used as a holiday greeting by the artist and publisher. None are for sale. Printed by NADJA for Albondocani Press.Herb Yellin (1935-2014) was the highly respected publisher and founder of Lord John Press, considered by many to be one of the most important small presses of the 20th century. His close personal relationships with many significant writers resulted in an impressive number of unique, collectible,signed limited edition books. Working with some of modern literature's biggest names-Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, John Updike, Eudora Welty, and Joyce Carol Oates among them-and entertaining his personal fascination with Hollywood, Yellin was able to create a new realm for Lord John Press combining the two fields; several books, including The Lord John Film Festival, were the result.
