Vermont Janus Press 1995 square 8vo. Waverly upholstery cotton covered box. 9 squares creating a friendship quilt.

A poem by Margaret Kaufman that is a sequel to "Aunt Sallie's Lament" and creates a friendship quilt in celebration of her seventy-fifth birthday.

The designs were laser printed and some were hand colored. The title is stitched in with lavender crochet thread, and Sallie's verses are printed in Trump Mediaeval. The pages create a changing quilt pattern accumulating the names of the quilters and are made of papers from Barcham Green, Richard Langdell, MacGregor-Vinzani, Fabriano, Rives, and Mohawk Superfine. Many of the papers have patterns that are made up from a variety of printers' flowers plus linocuts for the appliqued designs. The cover is quilted with patterned cottons. The inside of the front cover of the box contains a silk flower bouquet. The boxes were made by Judi Conant and Mary Richardson. Includes the colophon in an eight page pamphlet with a cover using an embossed quilt card design by Lisa McMasters for Stone Ginger Press.

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.

London n.p. (printed by C. Whittingham) 1845 small 4to. contemporary full calf, boards ruled with foliat and double fillet roll motifs, rims of boards and turn-ins with gilt roll pattern, all edges gilt, five raised bands, red spine label, gilt-tooled spine panels. (198) pages.
Printed as an Eton prize book for 1845. Sixteen satires of Juvenal, and six by Persius. Printed by Whittingham (whose device follows the text) at Chiswick. This book is a minor footnote in the history of printing, as it was at one time regarded as the first use of Caslon old-face in the 19th century (see Keynes' Pickering bibliography, p.31), though that is no longer the case. Each page is printed within a red border composed of ornaments within a frame of inner and outer single fillets; the title page border differs from that of the other pages. First page is a printed presentation with the name of "Alderson" filled in and the date altered by hand from 1841 to 1850. Bookplate of Livraria de Palha on front pastedown. Front board detatched. Minor foxing confined to first and last leaves.
