Description:
Octon, France: Verdigris, 2005. Rothchild, Judith. Oblong quarto. (15)ff. From an edition of fifty copies, this is one of ten deluxe copies, which include an original copper plate and an additional mezzotint. Signed by the artist and by the printer, Mark Lintott, at the colophon. Rothchild's illustrations-two mezzotints, one of which has been broken up into eight fragments-communicate the pensive darkness of the writer's desk, laying it, as Bishop does poetically, before the reader in pieces and as a whole. Bishop's poem was originally published in Geography III in 1976. Her verses address the elements of her writing desk as if they were news events, as if they were soldiers on a battlefield or secret weapons or natural disasters. Her matter-of-fact tone and obsessive analysis of the trivial-the stack of papers, the typewriter, the inkwell-reflects a larger anxiety with the state of the world and with the way that world appears on the "real" news. Bishop questions, with no hint of forthcoming… Read More

Description:
Chicago: Sherwin Beach Press, 1993. Tappin, Mike. Oblong octavo. 21pp. One of 200 copies. Four photographs by Mike Tappin depict people living on insubstantial government funds, the "safety net." The text by Steve Bogira, originally published in 1983 in the Chicago Reader, details the lives of those hovering at the poverty line, those who "are too good at surviving," and the government systems that dictate where and how funds are dispersed. In particular, the essay exposes how government programs and economic structures inordinately and inherently discriminate against people of color, and especially the Black community. It wrestles with a government's responsibility to its own citizens, and what it owes to those it marginalizes. Bound with leather cords in gray paper wrappers. Fine.

Description:
Poestenkill, NY: Kaldewey Press, 1998. Kaldewey, Gunnar. Quarto. 28pp., frenchfold. One of forty copies, signed by the author/artist/printer, Gunnar Kaldewey. This book is inspired by the notion of "nature as art," and was created after Kaldewey spent three months living in a traditional Japanese wooden house in Kyoto, studying the art of the Japanese garden as the seasons changed from winter to summer. The first text page poetically states: "Books are like gardens that one can carry/around; gardens are like books that one can/experience, promenade through or get lost..." Kaldewey has captured the finest details of nature in his prints of lime and silver, with borders in black. Text printed in orange on transparent, smaller octavo-sized sheets, which appear intermittently throughout the illustrations. Bound in green Kozo paper-over-boards, with two little stones from the Japanese game of Go mounted to the cover and surrounded by gold foil and a clear plastic frame. Housed in a paper chemise and… Read More

Description:
Alford, MA, 1962. Fink, Sheldon. Small quarto. 28ff. One of forty copies. Etched title page and twenty-six fine etchings by Fink, ranging thematically from portraits to botany to insects. Many of Fink's etchings have a decidedly Baskinesque aesthetic, but Fink's circle centered primarily in New York, where he was friendly with Jack Levine and Raphael Soyer. For this collection, Fink commissioned Royall Moore to create paper with a high linen count, and this was the subject of a Popular Mechanics article in 1965. Moore, who was described in the article as an "inventive Yankee," was a carpenter by trade, and made all the equipment himself. The binding for this edition was executed by Arno Werner, who bound it in full orange-toned deerskin with a hubbed spine and decorations printed in black on the upper cover and spine. Werner also presumably made the marbled endpapers, which also decorate the deerskin-backed folding case. Book is fine and bright; light rubbing to edges of box.

Description:
Poestenskill, NY: Kaldewey Press, 1983. Kaldewey, Gunnar. Tall quarto. 29ff. From an edition of forty-two copies, this is one of seven printed on pink paper. This marks the very first book printed in Poestenkill, an event commemorated with a loose transparency of the tower of Poestenkill, the site of the press, before the title page. It is also one of the few Kaldewey books that do not use Helvetica, and the only book from the press employing more than one typeface. Each page represents an experimental printing using a different letter of the alphabet. Bound by Christian Zwang in full soft pink calf, with stamped gilt letters playfully arranged across both covers. Few unobtrusive light scratches to the delicate leather, else fine, housed in publisher's black silk covered box. (von Lucius, pp. 62-63).

Description:
Minneapolis, MN: Vermilion Editions, 1987. Rathman, David. Small quarto. (10)ff. One of thirty-five copies, signed by the artist at the colophon. Throughout, Rathman's linocuts, gothic and mythic in their intensity, evoke the nervous, even violent edge of the text. The present tale is inspired by and adapted from Amos Tutuola's The Palm-Wine Drinkard, the first African novel to be published in English outside of Africa. Tutuola based his original text on Yoruba folktales, and his style, epitomized by the novel, has become a considerable landmark in discussions regarding colonial (and decolonized) literature and language. Although Rathman's adaptation has smoothed over some of Tutuola's idiosyncracies, his linocuts conjure similar feelings of mysticism and urgency which are indelible to folklore. Printed with aid from Gerald Lange of the Bieler Press and Norman Fritzberg of the Hansestadt Letterfoundry, and funded in part by the Minnesota Center for the Book Arts. Sheet held loose in four-flap… Read More

Apo's poetry, which meditates on loss, impermanence, and despair, appears on the versos, facing on the rectos Cecilia Blu Blau's woodcuts. Blu Blau is a tattoo artist and illustrator, and her images shine with the bold lines and black inks that are the hallmarks of traditional tattoos. The colophon states that the woodcuts were hand-pressed using a wooden spoon, and that the text was composed by hand with Trodat Typo (rubber stamp) printing. Bound in full red cloth over boards with title woodcut stamped to upper cover. Scant exterior soiling, hinges starting, else a remarkable example of private printing in modern Argentina. No copies recorded in OCLC.

Translated and printed by Howard Zimmon in red, ochre, and black. An exacting work of printing, especially so with Neruda's Spanish and Zimmon's English appearing on facing pages, arriving at an important time on two fronts: Neruda received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971, and in 1970 the edition's dedicatee, Mary Vecchio, was photographed in the immediate aftermath of the Kent State Shootings kneeling over the body of Jeffrey Miller. Bound in green paper over boards with paper spine label. Nudges to corners, label faintly toned, else fine. From the library of Kim Merker.

Description:
Jena: Eugen Diderichs, 1922. Wolf, Gustav. Folio. (15)ff., loose, as issued. From an edition of 250 copies, fifty were hand-colored; this appears to be a regular edition copy (number 111 and with the regular edition's black-printed portfolio) that has been hand-colored out of series. Each of the seven lithographs is signed in pencil by Wolf. Bibliographic records of the entire edition seem to indicate that there are two issues of the lithographs: one with "WOLF" and "Am Ersten Tag," etc., carved as part of the lithograph, and one with no lettering, but with typographic additions of "Bl. 1" and "Der erste Tag," etc., and Wolf's autograph added. This copy is of the latter issuance. The complexity of the edition is likely due, at least in part, to the intervening years between the portfolio's completion and publication, confused as they were by the First World War. Wolf's seven lithographs chart the seven days of creation, and his use of the lithographic medium lends his images remarkable contrast… Read More

Description:
(Hammersmith): Kelmscott Press, 1894. Burne-Jones, Edward. Bifolium sheet printed on both sides.(4)pp. One of 250 copies. The initial full-page woodcut illustration by Edward Burne-Jones first appeared in John Ruskin's The Dream of John Ball, and depicts, with suitable romance and foreboding, Adam and Eve after their expulsion from Eden. Both clothed in hides, Adam digs into the ground while Eve begins her spinning; about her legs are a young Cain and Abel. The rest of the pamphlet evinces William Morris' handiwork, with ten-line and six-line initials, vinous borders, and his printer's mark. Morris produced the edition for the Ancoats Brotherhood, a Manchester socialist society aimed at bringing art and literature to the area and to improve conditions for the working classes. The work's chosen poems by Tennyson and prose by Ruskin reflect these egalitarian values, calling for prioritization of humanity over earthly gain, and espousing the inherent goodness and Godliness of all people.

The text is set in Garamond, with the voices of God and the angels distinguished by type size. To ensure that the pages would lie flat, Hoyem himself sewed the signatures concertina-style over a flexible core of plastic and nylon fiber. The binding is quarter-inch laminated oak boards with a lightning-bolt device by Dine, backed in white alum-tawed pigskin.
