[Dundas], Ontario, Canada:: The Aliquando Press,, 2013.. Edition of 50. 7 x 11"; 60 pages. Letterpress printed using Palatino and Optima types with Egmont Inline initials and a variety of the Press' typographic resources. Printed on Hahnemühle paper. Cloth flatback case binding with paper title on spine. Of fifty copies produced, copies 11 to 50 are bound in hand marbled paper covered boards. This is an hors commerce copy, signed by Rollin Milroy, proprietor of Heavenly Monkey Press and one of the contributors. Five essays on the private press to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the press. Thoughts and opinions about the private press by Leonard F. Bahr, Paul Hayden Duensing, Rollin Milroy, and William Rueter. Heavenly Monkey Press, blog: "Pressing Matters presents two essays by Leonard Bahr on the private press, augmented by a chapter on the subject by Paul Hayden Duensing, and one on the economics of private press publishing by us/HM/ Rollin Milroy. "Bahr was a commercial typographer whose greatest creativity was reserved for his own private imprint, the Adagio Press. In the 1960s and '70s he issued many items, from ephemera to substantial pamphlets, with type and typography the over-riding focal points. His most ambitious project, by several orders of magnitude, was An Account of the Work of T.J. Cobden-Sanderson & Cobden-Sanderson's Partnership with Emery Walker (1969), with texts by Norman Strause and John Dreyfus, and two original Doves Press leaves tipped into each copy. "Will received galley proofs from Bahr of his essays when they were first set in the early 1970s. Bahr had initially intended them to be the first parts of a book that would look at different aspects of private press publishing. Chapters 1 and 2 from Pressing Matters "The Idea of the Private Press" and "The Private Press Defined" were issued by Bahr, in a revised form, in the first two issues of his periodical Typographia (no more numbers were published). The book for which they were initially conceived was also to include chapters on the purpose of the private press; how imagination, innovation and patience should be employed to bring out the unique advantages of the private press; and economics how a private press can be made to survive, if not prosper, within our not-too-bookish society. "For whatever reasons, the type remained standing after Bahr pulled the proofs later sent to Will, but the project was abandoned. 'After proofing his essays Leonard seems to have been unwilling to speculate further on the private press, feeling that the topic was in constant change,' Will writes in the books afterword, where he also offers his own thoughts on Bahr's questions about purpose and the importance of imagination. "The most striking feature of the new Aliquando book is the 17 'mini-broadsides' throughout the book, each presenting a quote related to the topic of the private press drawn from sources as diverse as Rudolf Koch, Peter Beilenson, and William Everson. Each of these employs Will's extensive collection of types and ornaments, combined with his talent for extravagance in the use of color (and numerous press runs!). "Perhaps even more than private press printing, Paul Hayden Duensing's interest lay in private type design and casting. He was an important mentor to people like Bahr and Will, plus Jim Rimmer (who created a type named after PHD) and many others who were interested in learning how to cast type. His chapter in Pressing Matters, titled "Private Printing, Private Typefounding," is a collection of his writings on the topic, both published and in correspondence with Will. 'His words seem to me an essential adjunct to Leonard's thoughts,' Will explains in his afterword. (PHD and Will collaborated in 1976 on what may be the only American-Canadian private press co-publication, Buchstabenfreude, the Delight of Letters.)"

Brian Borchardt, colophon: "The inspiration for this book came on a trip in August 2012 when I stumbled upon a very unique typeface book in the lounge of the Hotel Rex in San Francisco. I realized then that my partner, Jeff Morin (sailorBOYpress), has a truly remarkable collection of wood and metal types (and I feel so privileged to be able to access this type for my own work). Jeff has been actively collecting type since 1989 and this book represents only a small portion of his working collection."

Black paper-covered boards with silver titling and multicolored thread tie closure. Housed in black lidded box with title in white and hand written edition number on lid. Signed and numbered by the artist. Dirk Hagner: "The album uses a quote from Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska employing texting as a means to allow use of larger type in the letterpress process than would be normally possible. 'All is mine and nothing owned for memory, and mine only while I look.' Much like a jpeg photograph the words compress when texted to fewer letters; however, when read, it 'resurrects' to the full wording. It allowed the effective use of some pied wood type.

Suzanne Sawyer: "The legacy of quilting is ubiquitous in American history, so much so that it has lost some of the meaning it once held. But its history is rich and perhaps best typified in African American culture such as with the quilters of Gee's Bend. The quilters, descendants of former slaves living in rural Alabama, developed a unique, improvisational style of quilting using just remnants of clothing. Their quilts have become world renowned for their simple geometric patterns and have been compared to the work of modern…

London: Unit Editions, 2021. 1st ed. Paperback. New/no dj as issued. A long overdue book examining the extraordinary life and work of artist/designer Ed Fella. Ed Fella is revered by many of the leading names in contemporary design. Now, at long last, there is a book that charts Ed's journey from the commercial design studios of 1950s Detroit to his current position as a widely celebrated artist/designer. Ed Fella: A Life in Images makes extensive use of his vast treasure store of visual delight: it showcases flyers, posters, original sketches, drawings, Polaroids and collages, as well as items from Ed's collection of vernacular design. The book makes unrestricted use of Ed's vast archive. David Cabianca, the book's co-author and its instigator, has surveyed the archive in depth. He writes: "Ed Fella's archive is legion. It branches into numerous streams while sustaining a robust trail of examples along the way. Fella's archive exhausts the possibilities one might find in graphic design. Ed Fella…

For half a century his pioneering work in the field of advertising design and typography has exerted a profound influence on the design profession; he almost single-handedly transformed "commercial art" from a practice that catered to the lowest common denominator of taste to one that could assert its place among the fine arts. Among the numerous clients for whom he has been a consultant and/or designer are the American Broadcasting Company, IBM Corporation, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
