3 volumes. New York The Limited Editions Club 1985 oblong 4to. quarter natural eelskin with cloth-covered boards, paper cover labels, slipcase. xiii,(iii),156; 159-326; 329-530 pages.
Printed in an edition limited to 1000 numbered copies. History as a series of biographies and meals? Along with a magical fish who doesn't want to be eaten (one recognizes the Grimm fairy tale). Men catch food, women prepare it, or at least in this novel, whose apparently everlasting fisherman protagonist keeps meeting the same well-informed fish while his equally immortal wife manifests again and again in various guises (always as a cook), though lacking a personal memory of human history or past lives. In the "present," the flounder has been caught by three lesbians and brought to trial before a radical feminist tribunal for having "served the male cause in an advisory capacity since the late Neolithic, well knowing that his advice redounded to the detriment of the female sex." But the flounder still has something to say... Finely illustrated with 27 of Grass' excellent, grotesquely realistic original illustrations printed in two colors by The Anthoensen Press. Printed throughout on grey paper made for this edition. Letterpress printed by Daniel Keleher at his Wild Carrot Letterpress. Translation by Ralph Manheim. With Newsletter prospectus loosely inserted. Touch of wear along bottom of slipcase.

  (Maret, Russell) Maret, Russell ÆTHELWOLD ETC
New York, NY Editions Schlechter 2013 folio stiff paper wrappers 128 pages
Deluxe edition, accompanied by an original lettered specimen. Out of print since 2010, Æthelwold Etc is now available in meticulous facsimile from Editions Schlechter, comprising the complete standard edition of the original as well as the diary of ink colors that accompanied the deluxe edition. Photographed at an insanely high resolution by 42-Line in Oakland, California, every line, impression, and paper fiber of the original edition is reproduced with remarkable clarity. 750 copies have been printed, of which 55 are signed, numbered, and accompanied by an original letter from the edition.

The twenty-six letters of Æthelwold Etc were designed to explore the relationships between alphabetical form and literary content, the limits of a letter forms individuality within the context of the alphabetical community, and the tensions between typographic assumptions, personal history, and creative desire. Theses various themes are further explored in the second half of the book, a section of notes in which any poetry related to a letters design is also included. The printing of the letters was conceived in the spirit of chromatic maximalism, requiring as many as nine colors to realize a single letter form and 105 different ink colors for all twenty-six. In his review of the book, Paul F. Gehl, the Keeper of the Newberry Librarys Wing Foundation on the History of Printing, said, Russell Marets ambitious new book is several things: an alphabet book, a commonplace book, an artists book, and a tour-de-force of color letterpress printing…. In a world where anyone can draw a new face and dozens appear every year, remarkably few of them really show anything fresh or even thoughtful. Fewer still challenge our comfortable assumptions about size, fit, and spacing. If you are up for an elegant, delicate violation of your typographic expectations, have a serious look at Æthelwold Etc. Winner of a Judges Choice Award at the 2009 UK Fine Press Book Fair.
