New York, etc.: Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1969. 4to. 12 ¼ x 8 ¼ inches. 75, (3) pp. Half-title, printed throughout in blue and black inks, chapter heads, 11 illustrations, bibliography, index; text clean, un-marked. Black-stamped brown cloth, dust-jacket; binding square and tight, jacket rubbed. Very Good. $ 45 SECOND EDITION. This book was first issued in a limited edition of 140 copies, which were printed on a Columbian hand press at the Allen Press. The present edition was offset from proofs of the limited edition. This is the first thorough manual on hand press printing since those of the nineteenth century – which are now completely obsolete and seriously misleading. Its purpose is fourfold: 1) to enable hand press owners to produce top-quality printing; 2) to encourage those with increased leisure time to practice hand press printing as a serious avocation; 3) to stimulate a renaissance in fine printing; and 4) to acquaint collectors with methods involved in hand- produced books.

  • International Print Collectors' Societies Newsletter
    Hello Print Collectors, I amInternational Print Collectors’ Societies Newsletter Vol. VII, No. 1 January 2012 Hello Print Collectors, The biggest announcement this month is that we have a new society joining our ranks. The Rocky Mountain Print Collectors began hosting events just a few months ago. Please check out their submission on page 9 of this issue. I recently had an epiphany as to how useful this newsletter can be. During discussions in a strategic planning meeting for the Print Society of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, I noticed that I was relating many ideas that I had read about in this publication. Our Print Society is not as old or as large as most of the other societies, and it is helpful for us to draw on the ideas and experiences of more established clubs and societies. In future submissions to the Newsletter, I challenge each of us to not only report our events but to also share various strategies and tactics which have been successful (or particularly disastrous). I am still looking for someone to replace me as editor of the IPCS Newsletter. It is not a terribly difficult task, but it is an investment of time. If you or someone you know would like to take over the editorship for 2 years (4 issues), please contact me as soon as possible so that we can make a smooth transition. May the coming spring find great things for all of you and your societies! Keeping Print Enthusiasts in Contact and Serving the Print Community Around the World IPCS Newsletter, January 2012 2 DATELINE: Cleveland by Carole Rosenblatt The Print Club of Cleveland Grass does not grow under the feet of Cleveland Print Club members; Program Chair Lorrie Magid does not allow it.
