Once Upon A Time

This is the story of how Lost Tales became lost and then found.  It's the story of Lost Tales Volume 2  The Emperor's Crystal.

In 2013 Mike and Rita Tortorello released the second collection of stories written by Lord Dunsany available from Pegana Press.

There were 92 copies printed, but somehow, we were missing some pages for several copies.  Since one sheet accounts for four pages, it's a pretty big deal to mislay even one sheet of a book.

Because of those missing pages, we had listed our Lost Tales Volume 2 as being sold out.

Now we have remedied that situation and we have 6 more copies available, which means we will have 6 complete box sets to sell.

Rita is in the process of binding those last 6 sets, and they should be finished before Volume 4 is finished being printed.  Most fortunately for us the end papers we used for Volume 2 are still available.  So we'll put in an order for those sheets and while we're waiting Rita will be cutting binder board and sewing the copies of Volumes 1 and 3.

At last the orphan copies of Lost Tales Volume 2 will find their proper place with collectors who will be able to enjoy them.

To reserve your set of the first three volumes of Lost Tales go to Pegana Press  Lord Dunsany boxed sets.

And to reserve your copy of Lost Tales Volume 4.  Volume 4 has an interesting story to it, which we will be telling here on the blog soon.

What's New at Pegana Press?

We've been keeping busy at Pegana Press.  Mike has been hard at work setting and printing the next release,  and we will talk about that in another post.  It is nearing completion.

We put in an order for letterpress type about 6 weeks ago to replace our type which is showing signs of wear.  As it turned out, there wasn't enough to fill the order, and so now we're still looking.

Sunday, we spent the day making our most popular letterpress holiday card.  It's always a festive event for us, working together to make these fun cards.

Rita is between book binding jobs and is getting ready for a tabling event at the local gallery here in town.  She will feature her short story zines Hearth & Heart, our letterpress chapbook of her stories--Winter Tales, and our letterpress holiday cards.

If you're in the States and are celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday, we wish you a very joyful holiday celebration this week end.  And we wish to say how thankful we are for your support of Pegana Press.
