CENTER BROADSIDES 2005 READING SERIES.
Twelve broadsides, each representing the work of an individual poet who gave a reading at the Center for Book Arts in New York, are enclosed in an artistic portfolio that not only provides protection but also appeals to the eye. As part of the Broadside Reading Series, each author creates a broadside of one of their poems that captures the essence of the verse and the story they are telling. Includes works by Joan Larkin, Elizabeth Alexander, Elaine Equi, Laure-Anne Bosselaar, Tony Towle, Douglas Goetsch, Angelo Verga, Mark Nickels, M.J. Bender, Garrett Kalleberg, Jeff Friedman and Daniel Nester. Produced in a signed limited edition of 100, the broadsides are reserved for the yearly portfolios. The 2005 portfolio is covered in paper printed with a rectangular pattern with a quarter gold cloth spine and gold grosgrain ribbon ties.

THOMAS SHORT AND THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN CONNECTICUT.
by Johnson, Foster M.
Limited to 50 numbered copies, being a Keepsake for the Columbiad Club (Not in Leaf Book - Chalmers). The booklet provides a biography of the printer, Thomas Short, information on the printing history of this 1708 imprint, and a six-page facsimile. Loosely inserted in a pocket is an actual leaf from the "Saybrook Platform" of 1710 taken from Harold Hugo's defective and broken-up copy. Hugo printed the collotype reproductions in this book. Not in the recently published bibliography of leaf books (Disbound and Dispersed, distributed by Oak Knoll Press for the Caxton Club). An extremely scarce book.
