(Morris, William) Lasner, Mark Samuels THE MULTIFACETED MR. MORRIS.
Newark, DE Lead Graffiti 2012 8vo stiff paper wrappers 56 pages
Limited edition of 100 copies. Entitled The Multifaceted Mr. Morris, this is the catalogue of the William Morris exhibition mounted in the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection at the University of Delaware for the Useful & Beautiful conference held in October 2010. More than 30 books, manuscripts, drawings, and other works were highlighted and the book's introduction tells the story of how the collector came to collect Morris and the Pre-Raphaelites.
The author, Jane Tippett, is a PhD student in Art History at the University of Delaware.
"It was important for Lead Graffiti to find a way to marry the text with an interesting visual element. Many of the pieces included in the exhibition were very personal items, letters, photographs, drawings, and of course books.
We came up with the idea to look at each piece and find an interesting visual element. It might be the postage mark on a letter or a note in the margin or an interesting square inch of a photograph. Looking for them was great fun and the process connected us very directly with each piece. Some had a dozen we could use. Others forced us to pull from an otherwise non-visual piece which ended up with some interesting outcomes.

We took photos of the elements, along with the eight full color images, retouched in Photoshop, LiveTraced in Illustrator, and designed an area at the top of each letterpress page for them to live and breath. Their positioning connects them to their original lives. At one point in the project we got scared that we had somehow lost control of what went where, so we had to go back to the collection to double check our layout. It was wonderful fun to search through the pieces to find the image. We hope others that visit Mark's collection can stop for a moment and search for a couple. Some are quite a scavenger hunt to find."

2-color throughout via letterpress on Hahnemühle Bugra with 8 color plates printed via high-resolution archival inkjet and bound into the handmade books.

(Mosher Press) Macleod, Fiona FROM THE HILLS OF DREAM:THRENODIES, SONGS AND OTHER POEMS
Portland Thomas B. Mosher 1917 large 12mo. two toned paper-covered boards, paper spine label xv, 146+(1) pages
Fifth edition, limited to 925 copies (first edition: Mosher checklist, no.182). Fiona Macleod is a pseudonym for the Scottish author William Sharp (1855-1905). After his reputation as Sharp was established, he published a collection of poems as Macleod, hoping to be taken more seriously. The publication was widely acclaimed and Sharp built up a detailed persona for Macleod, even acting as her agent. He never admited to anyone that Sharp and Macleod were one and the same. As Fiona, he produced poems and stories which, in their romantic content, settings and characters and in their mystical aura, reflected the spirit of the time and attracted an extensive readership. As Sharp, he continued reviewing and editing and tried his hand at several novels. Ink inscription on front free endpaper dated 1925. Some head and tail pieces. Title page printed with red and black. Spine darkened. Top edge of covers sunned.
