FINE & DIRTY: CONTEMPORARY LETTERPRESS ART.
Bright, Betty
This book explores letterpress printing in the twenty-first century. By looking at recent developments in letterpress and exploring art made by several influential international artists, this catalogue shows many facets of fine press printing such as typography, book design, binding, and papermaking.
It examines the cause of the radical change in the letterpress medium and investigates the rebirth of letterpress printing as an art. By examining some key practitioners, the book brings to light the background behind the rebirth of the letterpress medium. Richly illustrated in color, the catalogue illustrates the work of Didier Mutel, Russell Maret, the Ladies of Letterpress, Peter Rutledge Koch, and many others.
Produced in conjunction with the exhibition of the same title that was organized by Betty Bright and Jeffrey Rathermel, Executive Director, Minnesota Center for Book Arts.

HEART OF DARKNESS
by Conrad, Joseph
One of 150 numbered copies. Joseph conrad's masterpiece, Heart of Darkness, continues to ignite the interest of readers and literary scholars alike. The simple story of a sea-captain hired by Belgian colonial ivory merchants to search the Congo River for a disaffected company employee turned pathological demigod becomes as deeply a symboloic and frightening descent into the maelstrom of moral consequence as Dante's expedition through Hell. If there is a moral compass to be discovered within its pages it is to be found spinning between the cardinal points of avarice, genocide, values and cconscience as Marlow, streams deeper into the darkness of the jungle and the core of the human psyche in his search for the enigmatic Kurtz.
Published with 36 original drawings by renowned maritime artist Marc Castelli, this limited edition of Heart of Darkness summons us to listen to Marlow's story which echoes even today.
