MATRIX 29
One of 725 copies. MATRIX 29 is already overflowing with plans for topics that include the Hunt type designed by Hermann Zapf (with a specimen of the type in its three sizes on mould-made paper); wood-engravings from a pilgrimage to the south of France; the Firefly Press in Massachusetts; the Architectural Review; Monotype at the Bixlers; wood-type in America; David Godine, the Letterpress Years; Stinehour Press; Tirzah Ravilious; letterpress in Brazil; Robert Harling; Scotch Roman; the Occasional Print Club; Italian Futurist types; the creative possibilities of ad hoc letterpress printing; the golden age of 1960s publishing; and an item currently being vetted by MI5. A particular feature of MATRIX 29 will be the many letterpress inserts from around the world (Italy, USA, Canada, Brazil, UK).
