I’ll once again be at the 16th annual Kerrytown Bookfest in Ann Arbor, Michigan peddling my books and demonstrating intaglio printing as I have for the past 16 years. I’ll keep you posted of course as I’m always timely with my blog…. However, we’ve run into a snag with the Forster estate at the moment but hope to work it out to all of our benefit in the very near future. Marc has worked with us in the past on our books under the Chester River Press imprint for both Heart of Darkness and The Chesapeake Voyages of Captain John Smith as well as other ephemeral projects. I’ll post some pictures of layout revisions soon.Īlso, James Dissette and I have not neglected our Mad Parrot Press venture! We’ve brought Marc Castelli back on board to illustrate our new production of EM Forster ‘s The Machine Stops. Progress has been made on my other Kafka project, The Hunter Gracchus, with completion of the last engraving and mezzotint intaglio work and adapting the other plates to the new size format. ![]() I’ve not been idle while waiting for manuscript revisions.

I will contribute some lovely old stock Fabriano sheets from the ’40s for fly leaves or doublures. We’ve decided to print an additional three special copies on some old Barcham Green “Windhover” stock saved by Dellas while he was working with Kim Merker and the Windhover Press during his graduate student days at the University of Iowa in the ’70s. Here is Dellas’s sixth etching for the book,”Entitled” to be used as the frontispiece.Īll of the intaglio prints have been pulled and are awaiting another dampening for the text run. ![]() I must say I’ve had too much fun doing this - for an otherwise usually grueling process it’s been fun sparring with my collaborators from anything from syntax to making calls on typographic “house style.” Lucky for all of you we are perfectionists and because of that this new manuscript from Breon has undergone nine (I think) revisions in the past six months. Just moments ago I sent off the (I hope) final text edits and layout for In the Penal Colony to translator Breon Mitchell and artist Dellas Henke.
