About this Item

FROM THE PRESS
After several years of planning, we finally had the pleasure of offering this title in November of 2001. Four short and sweet pieces by Robin Barber, writer/teacher/landlord, were composed in Bembo types and printed on dampened paper by Michael and Katherine Russem and Ms Corinne Gill on our presses overlooking the warehouse of Deals & Steals, a local purveyor of packaged health foods that have long since passed their date of expiration.

Four complementary drawings were made by Jennifer Jo Schmidtmann, artist/printer/dental assistant/native of Liverpool. These drawings were reincarnated as photogravure plates under the watchful eye of Jon Goodman and printed on his press by Rosemary Kress.

The papers used throughout are Twinrocker, Griffen, and Oakdale, the latter laboriously dyed and re-dyed at the Press until they turned a deep, dark blue hue, and then used for the covers of the books. All bindings and boxes (which measure a comfortable 7½ x 11 inches) were made by Sarah Grace Provoncha at her well-equipped New Haven bindery. Fifty numbered copies were offered for $800, while an additional fifteen copies were lettered and
divided among those individuals who participated in the making of the book and are not available at any price.

Four prose poems, each accompanied by one black and white illustration. stiff paper wrappers, clam shell box with cover and spine labels.

Fine/near fine. Inquire directly for PayPal invoicing and reduced shipping.
