TOPOS
A feast for paper collectors: a dozen new paste paper designs by HM's long-time collaborator, Reg Lissel, each rendered on his own handmade cotton paper. The samples are full pages sewn into the quarto-sized book. The title page is printed on a white-on-white paste paper sheet, and the papermaker's introduction (set in 18-pt Centaur) is printed damp on his HM Text paper. The edition is just 25 signed & numbered copies, cased in full cloth, with a printed handmade paper jacket. Catalogers note that two states of this jacket were issued, shown opposite. We'd printed the second color (red) on about a third of the jackets before wondering if it actually looked better just in black. We couldn't decide, and a survey of friends yielded an even split, so we decided not to decide and issued the jacket both ways. There is no priority or preference, other than personal. TOPOS, priced at C$275, was fully subscribed at the time of issue on December 1.Return to list of books published. HEAVENLY MONKEY |
