  (Inky Parrot Press) Voltaire, Francois Marie Arouet de CANDIDE
Oxford The Inky Parrot Press 1985 small 4to. patterned paper-covered boards, slipcase (x), 141+(1) pages
Printed in an edition limited to 360 numbered copies. Translated by Richard Aldington. Signed by the illustrator, Wilton Priestner. Profusely illustrated with slightly disturbing, almost surreal line drawings that push the satirical tone of the story itself to a new level. The modern, edgy drawings are evidence of the relevancy and adaptability of the work of the eighteenth-century French writer, Voltaire. The imagery does not exactly match up with the moment of the story it illustrates, but rather offers a highly interpretive version of the events as told by Voltaire. For example, whereas the text reads "...she observed Doctor Pangloss in the bushes, giving a lesson in experimental physics to her mother's waiting maid, a very pretty and docile brunette," the illustration shows a couple copulating in the garden. Paper covered boards and the slipcase also with drawings by Priestner. With shoulder notes.

  (INSEL-VERLAG) Brinks, John Dieter VOM ORNAMENT ZUR LINIE, DER FRÜHE INSEL-VERLAG 1899 BIS 1924.
2 volumes. Berlin Triton 2000 4to. linen-covered boards, both volumes enclosed in a linen slipcase. 391,(3) pages; 20 inserts in portfolio.
Printed in an edition of 2000 copies. Volume I of a series of three installments, not yet completed. Praised as "a masterpiece of book production" and "a product of enthusiasts" by critic Wilfried F. Schoeller, the book traces the early 20th-century history of the Insel publishing house. Insel earned its renown by turning book production into an art form as it printed the works of classic authors and gave a new generation of writers, such as Rainer Maria Rilke, their start. The editor, Brinks, reveals Insel's high aesthetic standards through sumptuous illustrations of its work. In all, there are 240 illustrations, seven of which are foldouts, many polychrome with three and four colors, and many with stunning gold print. One splendid example of the high-quality illustrations is the foldout of a series of classics, The Thousand and One Nights and the Decameron, the bindings designed by Marcus Behmer. The colors are so rich and the detail so striking that the reader almost feels he can touch and leaf through the deckled pages of the books shown. Another example depicted is that of Henry van de Velde's designs for the covers of Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra, as well as sample pages from the edition, both finely detailed with gold print. Text edited by Brinks with seventeen essays contributed by him and twelve other specialists such as Juergen Suess, Marcus Haucke, and Suzanne Buchinger. Essays beautifully printed with wide margins and double-spaced on Gardapat paper in cursive Borgis White Antiqua. Outstanding documentation for the essays at the back of the book, as well as detailed indices for artwork and literary sources. Accompanying the book is a slim briefcase volume containing twelve facsimile resolution papers and eight folder reproductions in their original format. Distributed for Triton in North America by Oak Knoll Press. In German.

  (Jacobi, C.T.) Gray, Thomas POEMS BY THOMAS GRAY.
London Eton College 1920 large 8vo. vellum, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. (x), 87, (3) pages.
Privately printed by C.T. Jacobi for Eton College in the Riccardi Press fount of the Medici Society Limited. Edward Philip Prince, William Morris' punchcutter, later cut type for other private presses, including the Riccardi Press types for the Medici Society. Both typography and type in this book of 29 poems of Thomas Gray still show a strong Morris influence. The book was a private printing for Eton College; the printed presentation page in Latin, with spaces for names, a Morris-style border and the Eton arms, suggests that the copies were meant for special distribution by the College. Two names are filled in in ink on the presentation page of this copy and the date has been changed in ink to 1929. The vellum of this copy is spotted, with some concavity of covers, as often happens with vellum. Small spot at top edge of first few pages.

First edition. This long-awaited biography brings to life the remarkable printer, politician and sage, Everett Johnson. Inspired by the work of Elbert Hubbard's Roycrofters, Johnson established the indomitable Press of Kells in Newark, Delaware. The fortress-like stone building that became home to the "Newark Post" still stands, and as of 1999, this lively paper celebrates its 90th year. For the next generation, through his books, newspaper articles, and public service, he struggled to champion a series of social causes and became known as the "Conscience of Delaware." This very readable book includes Robert Barnes' comprehensive bibliography of Johnson's works.
