(Old Stile Press) Butler, S.J. THE SWIMMER.
Monmouthshire, UK The Old Stile Press 2012 4to decorated paper covered boards (33) pages
One of 100 numbered and signed copies by the author and artist. The Swimmer tells the story of a writer working in her room overlooking a river during a long, hot summer. Overcoming her initial fear of the river with its power and strength to overwhelm a swimmer, she steps into the water and into an unexplored realm of emotion. Words and pictures swim together in the cooling water past tree-lined banks, under a bridge and around curving bends. Later, a richly inventive photographer reads the story and is inspired to create a suite of images to accompany it, employing both ancient and modern photographic techniques. At this point the book designer/printer feels that the storys sense of flow and the photographers images, which float as if in the water alongside the swimmer, could happily be brought together in a book where type has been chosen for slow contemplative reading and the cover design places the whole in the heart of nature.

The story curls across the page slowing the reader to the pace of the swimmer. Emotions crowd in as initial fear moves to exhilaration, apprehension turns to pleasure. S.J. Butler's words and Steffi Puschs pictures together create an atmosphere in which the reader too can share the emotion of the story. They each write a preface to introduce their approach to storytelling and its presentation through photography.

The Swimmer first appeared in The Warwick Review and was then selected for The Best British Short Stories 2011 published by Salt. This is its first publication together with Steffi Puschs photographs. Photographs by Steffi Pusch.

(Old Stile Press) Verstegan, Richard PYED PYPER, A PASSAGE EXTRACTED FROM A RESTITUTION OF DECAYED INTELLIGENCE IN ANTIQUITIES, BY THE STUDIE & TRAUAILE OF RICHARD VERSTEGAN.
(Llandogo, UK) The Old Stile Press 2002 4to. full limp calf, blindtooled with rosettes and an image on front cover not paginated, but (24) pages
Designed and printed by Nicolas McDowall in an edition limited to 175 copies, each numbered and signed by the artist. The text was set in Hiroshige Book type and was printed from polymer plates on Fabriano Ingres paper, with binding by The Fine Bindery. Hiroshige was designed in 1986 by Cynthia Hollandsworth of AlphaOmega Typography; it was originally commissioned for a book of woodblock prints by the 19th-century Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, whose work influenced many Impressionist artists. Illustrated with linocuts and wood engravings by Angela Lemaire, printed from the original blocks in a variety of ink colors. The text (London, John Norton, 1634) is the earliest known version in English of the extraordinary tale of the children of Hamelin. In her images for this book, Angela Lemaire uses rich color and the differing textures of wood and linocut, shown in the swirl of the river moving through the landscape, in the walls around a medieval town, and the dancing line of children disappearing into the hillside.

This volume contains 194 colored and 65 black and white tipped-in illustrations, many of which have been printed to resemble the original. Reproduced in this volume are many of the designs that Hunter produced for the bindings of the Roycroft books and catalogues and also the cover designs for other advertising publications. Volume II describes Hunter's activities as a papermaker and paper historian and contains a bibliography of Hunter's writing. Accompanied by tipped-in specimens of paper, tipped-in facsimiles of title pages and other work. Dard Hunter Jr. has written a two-page note regarding the production of this book, a massive job requiring 12 years. The book was printed by hand on dampened paper printed on Washington hand presses. The paper specimens were made using Dard Hunter's original beater which had to be reconstructed for this project. This surely is one of the landmark books produced in the book-arts field in the 20th century both from a textual and production standpoint.
