GARO MANGA: THE FIRST DECADE, 1964-1973
Holmberg, Ryan
Garo is synonymous for many with alternative Japanese comics. With the first issue appearing in 1964, Garo was a monthly magazine published for 38 years, and the foundation for many artists on the verge of manga practice. The visual imagery of this exhibition is a reaction to traditional Japanese aesthetics. It provides a commentary on political and social norms of Japanese society in the 1960s and 1970s. It also compliments the Center for Book Arts' educational offerings of Japanese woodblock, reductive woodcut, and Japanese bookbinding.

AN ANTHOLOGY OF DELAWARE PAPERMAKING.
by Pfeiffer, Gordon (editor)
Limited to 200 numbered copies. This work is based on an original article written by Barbara Benson about the general history of papermaking in Delaware. To this has been added two previously published articles - "The Gilpins and their Endless Papermaking Machine" by H.B. Hancock and N.B. Wilkinson; and "Papermaker Joshua Gilpin introduces the Chemical Approach to Papermaking in the U.S." by Sidney M. Edelstein. Finally there is a previously unpublished thesis written by Patricia M. Brown outlining the history of the Curtis Paper Company in Newark, Delaware. This is an important article as little has previously been published about the history of this mill which eventually supplied paper to so many of America's fine book producers. There is also an introduction by Gordon A. Pfeiffer, President of the Delaware Bibliophiles. Henry Morris designed the book and printed it by letterpress at his Bird & Bull Press. The text has been printed on mouldmade paper and the work has been illustrated with four original wood engravings by John DePol. Prospectus loosely inserted. This copy has been signed by Barbara Benson, Henry Morris, Gordon Pfeiffer, John DePol and Bob Fleck. Spine faded.
