I am continuing to mail out all the copies of Lost Tales Volume 6 by Lord Dunsany that have been ordered. There are 5 copies still available to purchase and a small number of Volume 4 and 5 as well. More information about these Limited Letterpress editions of unpublished Lord Dunsany stories may be <a href="https://peganapress.com/lord-dunsany">found here at our website.</a>
Proof copies of the Annals of the Jinns Edition have been sent to Master Binders in Seattle and Salt Lake City. They will bind test copies of the Numbered and Lettered Editions respectively.
The tentative design for the numbered edition (34 copies) will use Japanese black silk moire of glowing iridescence with a full color pastedown on the front board and hand marbled Brazilian endpapers.
The Lettered Edition (tentatively) will be quarter bound in purple/violet leather with facing marbled endpapers and inset color illustration.
The edition will be housed in a custom clamshell box of shimmering black Japanese silk framing a full color illustration. I will share more news and photos of this lovely Limited Edition of Annals of the Jinns by R.H. Barlow soon. There are currently two amazing artists working on illustrations for the book.
I still collect books when I see something I love and I couldn’t pass this one up, here’s a recent addition to the library I thought I would share.

This would set the tone for works to come as he focused on some of the earliest weird fiction writers like H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and of course, Lord Dunsany. In 2012, Mike's wife Rita joined the team to become the binder for Pegana Press, bringing a refined sensibility to the design of their projects. If you are even a casual fan of weird fiction, Pegana is absolutely a press to follow. We are so excited to be able to share our conversation with Mike and Rita. It is an honor to have this veteran duo be a part of our series here at the Collectible Book Vault.</em></span></span></p><div data-hook="rcv-block3" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" type="paragraph"></div><div class="mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr" id="viewer-e6ub9" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br role="presentation" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></span></div><div data-hook="rcv-block4" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" type="empty-line"></div><p class="mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr" id="viewer-82eat" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Q: This will be our first interview with a husband-and-wife duo, which is really exciting!

It was the first casebound book we produced. Mike was still working a day job, and printing books at night (which he continued to do for the first five years of Pegana Press). It wasn’t cost effective at that point to send the books out to be bound, so we talked about it, and I ended up teaching myself how to bind books. I wasn’t trained or apprenticed, but I put a lot of care and a lot of love into those books, and Mike put a lot of care and love into typesetting and printing each book, and the content is superb. I think our customers really wanted us to succeed. They were very encouraging and supportive, and Pegana Press grew, which gave me a lot of practice binding books.</span></span></p><div data-hook="rcv-block15" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" type="paragraph"></div><div class="mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr" id="viewer-61t1d" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br role="presentation" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></span></div><div data-hook="rcv-block16" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" type="empty-line"></div><p class="mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr" id="viewer-a7jfk" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Q: The name of your imprint draws its name from a series of stories by Lord Dunsany, including <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Gods of Pegana</em>, published in 1905.

I began to track scans down of them through world library loan systems, and that’s when I decided to do a series of these stories that really were <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Lost Tales</em>. Beginning with Volume 3, Lady Dunsany and the Dunsany Castle archivist Joe Doyle began sharing these incredibly rare Sidney Sime oil paintings as well as unpublished stories waiting in the Castle archives for their time.

The work itself is like a multi-layered construction, comprised of word/language puzzles, double meanings and sometimes ruthless observations of well-known people woven into a 24-hour sunrise-to-sunrise guided tour of 1919 Paris by Mirrlees. In addition to its linguistic complexity, Mirrlees, living in Paris, had become interested in French Modernism and their nontraditional use of typesetting and forms on the page. She incorporated the physical layouts of famous Parisian gardens, signs and verses of music on a staff when she had Virginia Woolf typeset and print the book at Hogarth Press. This was really the first time something of this nature had been published in the realm of Western Modernism and it certainly influenced T.S. Eliot and others in her circle.</span></span></p><div data-hook="rcv-block29" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif;

Upon learning Michael Swanwick was a champion of Mirrlees, I reached out to him, and he was very supportive. Michael also suggested I tell his friend Neil Gaiman about the book as he was also a huge fan of the poem. Neil was gracious in his praise. Of course, it encouraged me to continue this insane pathway I had chosen, haha. Swanwick also wrote an introduction to our first <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Lost Tales</em> Dunsany edition.

It's clear there is a bent towards weird and fantastical fiction of the early 20th century in your overall catalog with authors like H.P. Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, and Clark Ashton Smith heavily featured. You started by producing lesser-known and sometimes unpublished works by authors in this overall movement.

This method is extremely slow and laborious in nature, but well-forged hard metal type really does create the finest letterpress impression of any method. All the paper is cut down by hand, all the sewing is by hand, and all the paper folding by hand. Everyone else is using some or all of these tools/machines to do their work. We don't. No computer programs to spell check, edit, arrange type, choose a font. Probably the only modern part of my printing would be the motor distributing the ink on the press rollers.</span></span></p><div data-hook="rcv-block49" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" type="paragraph"></div><div class="mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr" id="viewer-51rtb" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br role="presentation" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></span></div><div data-hook="rcv-block50" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" type="empty-line"></div><p class="mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr" id="viewer-4ebk2" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Q: You split the duties of running a small press between the two of you with Mike focusing on the letterpress printing and research of titles and Rita operating as binder.

As I near the end of printing a current book I open that mental file in my head and see what rabbit holes they might take me down. The amount of unpublished material available from the “classic” periods of Weird Fiction is quite sparse. I just got lucky being loaned the key to the large unpublished Dunsany archives. There are unpublished works I come across that I would love to print but they would have such a potentially small market that I do weigh that aspect. In the case of the <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Lovecraft Dreamlands</em> editions, there weren’t any lavish editions out there and they were books I would want in my library, so I printed deluxe versions with some incredibly surreal artwork from German artist Michael Hutter. I also try and stay in touch with our collectors as to what kind of books they would like to see us do. There are times when I may choose a particular story to print that I think suits a particular artist I would like to work with. So, there are quite a few paths that may lead to the next publication for Pegana Press.</span></span></p><div data-hook="rcv-block77" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" type="paragraph"></div><div class="mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr" id="viewer-ejenr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br role="presentation" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;" /></span></span></div><div data-hook="rcv-block78" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" type="empty-line"></div><p class="mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr" id="viewer-bh1t0" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Q: At this point, you have produced around twenty different unique projects across many different authors.

Rita has been cutting the boards for the Lord Dunsany Lost Tales 5 by hand and notching out the insets for the cover pastedowns. We use a much denser binder board for our books so they're more durable and don't warp, but of course they're so dense I can't cut them with our cutter and local people have just screwed them up so we {Rita} cuts each one by hand and since I insisted on insets for the Dunsany books Rita gets to do that as well.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Meanwhile I'm nearing the end of typesetting the new Clark Ashton Smith story. His writing certainly requires a dictionary to catch some of the nuances layered into his prose. It can also be a challenge when having to decide where to hyphenate an unfamiliar word or one of his character's proper names!</p><p style="text-align: left;">We're looking forward to seeing the finished color Robert H.

<br />
I spent the week folding about 800 pages of Lost Tales V by Lord Dunsany and then collating the pages into signatures. The illustrations were scored and trimmed for insertion into the signatures.<br />
<br />
I just need to print the spine titles and front board pastedowns and my part of the work will be finished! It's nice to see the book becoming a completed entity. The special pre-order price will end July 15th. <a href="https://peganapress.com/lord-dunsany" target="_blank">Here's a link to more information and how to order.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Rita is continuing binding work, please be patient as she has a lot of books to get through and it's slow and painstaking work to do it right.<br />
<br />
I'll be starting on a Lovecraft broadside of one of his lesser known poems with a great period illustration.<br />
<br />

Just a quick update to let you know where I’m at with the binding process. As you may know Pegana Press is a small press run by the two of us, Mike and Rita Tortorello.<br />
<br />
Under ordinary circumstances our books take about 8 to 10 weeks to bind from start to finish, and most of that time is spent under weight.<br />
<br />
I am experiencing a delay of about 3 to 5 weeks due to the pandemic, but am just about ready to get books under weight in this upcoming week.<br />
<br />
I will continue to update you with progress reports as the books are bound. You may expect your books to be finished by no later than June, if all goes as expected. We are doing our best to stay safe and we hope you are too. Thank you for your patience and your understanding at this time.Rita Tortorellohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06057475735737046333noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210825890534245537.post-28577224918367531002020-03-05T18:14:00.000-08:002020-03-05T18:14:49.438-08:00New For 2020: Pegana Press Podcast<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Several years back, we tried doing a Storycast, where we read rare stories. We tried posting them on our blog and website, but didn’t really have the proper platform to do it.<br />
<br />
Over time this idea has been resurrected in two ways. One is where Mike Tortorello in partnership with Daven Tillinghast creates audio stories with music. You can find out more about that on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/dreamerstales" target="_blank">Dreamer’s Tales on Patreon</a> .<br />
<br />
The second evolution of Storycast comes in the form of a podcast on anchor . fm. We’ve just put out our first episode. You can listen on <a href="https://anchor.fm/pegana-press/" target="_blank">Pegana Press Podcast</a> <br />
<br />
We hope to make this a regular thing and plan to release two episodes a month for now.<br />

<h3>
From the Bindery:</h3>
<div>
First of all, Happy Spring. The nights are frosty but the days are sunny with clear skies here in the Maritime Pacific Northwest. I’ve got spring chicks in the brooder and seed catalogues are spread out before me. But what I really want to talk about is what books are being bound right now here at Pegana Press. The answer to that is-almost everything in our catalogue.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks to the enthusiasm of our customers, we currently have sold out of bound copies of our books. Which means I need to hustle. So for the next several weeks I will be filling the book press with freshly bound copies of almost everything we have. The books will need about 5 weeks to sit under weight after they’re bound and then once they get their titles they will be ready to put on the shelf, (or into a box to be shipped to their new home).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can learn more about how I bind the books at Pegana Press, on our website at the bottom of the <a href="https://peganapress.com/about-pegana-press#9be07a06-6016-444e-ae4b-58e8e4d5617c" target="_blank">About Pegana Press</a> page.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
From the Press:</h3>
<div>
In other news Mike is busy working on Lost Tales volume 5. A collection of more short stories from the pen of Lord Dunsany. The Lost Tales series are ideal for Dunsany collectors, as they contain stories which are either previously uncollected or previously unpublished. A real treasure provided to us all with the blessing of the Dunsany Estate.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The stories for this volume are currently being hand type set for letterpress on Hahnemühle paper. You can learn more about the printing process at the link provided above. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are also excited to reveal that we have commissioned an original work from fantasy artist Amelia Leonards to use as frontispiece and are very much looking forward to see what she envisions for this piece.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mike expects to be finished printing the book early this Summer. Then he will hand it over to me at the bindery, where it will be bound uniform with the other Lost Tales volumes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

Greetings from Pegana Press!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We've been very busy this fall...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rita has been binding the pre-order copies for "Dark Dreamlands II" by H.P. Lovecraft. Slow going as she has to cut the endpapers by hand, the sheets are too large for my cutter. The binding boards we use are much denser than standard boards and resist board shears so she's also cutting those by hand. In addition she's working on slipcases for the last 3 sets of Lost Tales 1-3 by Lord Dunsany.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've been enjoying typesetting the new Zothique Prism story "Tomb-Spawn" by Clark Ashton Smith. Such interesting words in this story. We're eagerly awaiting the artwork from Jim Pitts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll begin recording narration and music for "Annals of the Jinns" by Robert H. Barlow tomorrow. These will be fun to do, very atmospheric.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After I finish the CAS book I'll begin work this winter on Lost Tales Volume 5 by Lord Dunsany, again with many early unpublished stories.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We hope you all have a festive Halloween and we thank you for your interest in our work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Warmest regards</div>
<div>

Hello from Pegana Press!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rita has been busy cutting boards, cloth, and endpapers for the new Lovecraft edition; all by hand of course.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've begun printing a new Clark Ashton Smith story for the "Zothique Prism" series. More on story choice and illustrator soon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The first Zothique Prism "The Empire of the Necromancers" illustrated by Robert H. Knox is now down to 4 remaining copies, more information about the chapbook may be<a href="https://peganapress.com/clark-ashton-smith"> found on the CAS page.</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For those of you who like Lord Dunsany, the audiobook "The Vengeance of Thor" is now available on <a href="https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/lorddunsany">CD Baby to audition and download.</a> We picked some of the most bewitching stories from the Lost Tales series for this dramatic presentation as well as some classic Dunsany stories. I've collaborated with a pro narrator and musician to produce these.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was able to pick up a couple of spare parts for the Vandercook Press but am still in search of a couple of other key replacement parts. Thanks to our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/peganapress">Patreon supporters</a> for helping!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's all for now, we hope everyone is finding time to read.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Warmest regards</div>
<div>

It was about this time in July 10 years ago that Mike unpacked the restored Vandercook sp15 press which had just shipped from the Midwest to its new home in the Pacific Northwest, and Pegana Press became a part of our lives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We feel very lucky to have come so far with this endeavor from a part time obsession to a full time business creating the kinds of books inspired from our early days of book collecting. We want to thank others like us, who have supported our efforts by collecting our letterpress, hand made Pegana Press Books. Together all of us keep the press alive.</div>

I'm nearly finished with the printing of Dark Dreamlands II by H.P. Lovecraft.<br />
The printing will be done in about a month then Rita will begin the binding.<br />
We've received a magnificent illustration for the story The Quest of Iranon<br />
from Michael Hutter which we will share soon.</div>

Printing Another Book</h3>
Mike is in with the press. He’s printing another page from Dark Dreamlands II. I just saw him looking through a magnifying glass to evaluate ink on the paper.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Keeping Pegana Press Running</h3>
It’s not all type-setting, printing, and binding. We lead an integrated existence at the press. Over the years, we’ve created a balance that allows us to spend less on living expenses, which enables us to put money into making books, which in turn generates income to pay the bills.<br />
<br />
While Fall/Winter is the season I can devote to binding the books that Mike prints during the Spring/Summer season, this is the time of year I devote to growing/raising food on our small homestead.<br />
<br />
I just got back from the post office where I mailed a couple of books off. Our post office used to be housed in the general store in a very small community in East Olympia. I really love that drive. The community is mostly small farms and homesteads. The general store is still there, but the post office has expanded to a new building.<br />
<br />
Since I was close to the farm store, I drove out to pick up straw. I can get two bales into the back of the Prius. After a wet and cold winter, I need to change out the straw in my small barn where the hens like to lay their eggs. A happy, healthy flock is a big part of our home economy, and allows us to use more income on making books and less on feeding ourselves.<br />
<br />
On my way back home, I pass (I kid you not) the cider mill, which is a working farm. They make fresh donuts daily, and who could resist home-made pastries? It seemed like the perfect way to celebrate the end of the tax filing season, so I pulled in. I drove home with the tempting aroma of fresh sticky buns made with a cider glaze.<br />
<br />
When I got home, Mike was still printing so I share here, a photo of the page he is currently working on.<br />
<br />
And that’s a little peek into life here at the press...<br />
