First edition. This long-awaited biography brings to life the remarkable printer, politician and sage, Everett Johnson.

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.

See More... (Kat Ran Press) KAT RAN CHECKLIST. LIMITED EDITIONS DESIGNED, PRINTING, AND/OR PUBLISHED BETWEEN 1994 AND MID-2012. WITH AN INTRODUCTION, OCCASIONAL COMMENTS, AND AN ESSAY ABOUT FINE PRINTING BY MICHAEL RUSSEM.
Cambridge, MA Kat Ran Press 2012 8vo stiff paper wrappers 60 pages
One of 350 copies, of which this is one of 300 copies. Kat Ran Press was founded in 1994 by Katherine and Michael Russem with the goal of combining classical typography and contemporary art with the old ideals of fine printing. The Press had a pretty good run over the next eighteen years, printing everything from modest pamphlets to portfolios which have fetched as much as $1 million at auction. With the closing of the letterpress plant in Florence earlier in 2012, the staff of the Cambridge Offices decided to put together a 60-page illustrated checklist of the over eighty limited editions designed, printed, and/or published at Kat Ran. Included is everything from the student books of the Russems to the last books they printed for The Lone Oak Press and Sherwin Beach Press. All books are described with just the right amount of detail for the casual reader, and most descriptions are followed by additional commentary by the printer. This major checklist of the works by a minor press is a must-have for any collector, printer, student, or library concerned with fine printing between 1994 and the middle of 2012.
