Recent Press News

 




Press Activity

I've finished scoring, folding, trimming and gathering the signatures for Dark Dreamlands III by H,P, Lovecraft.  It's always a pleasure to finally see a book come together with it's illustrations and contents.  

I have the type set for the Clark Ashton Smith poem "Averoigne" that Jim Pitts is illustrating and will be presented as a multi-colour limited broadside soon.  I used the new Goudy 30 type from Mackenzie and Harris Foundry and it should look stunning when done.

Bindery Update
Rita is busy cutting the boards and endpapers for Dark Dreamland III and will begin binding them soon.
She has batches of Poseidonis The Age of Whelming by Clark Ashton Smith and The Men of Baldfolk by Lord Dunsany under weight and drying.
