Oak Knoll

Limited to 300 copies, of which this is one of 26 lettered copies bound thus and signed by the printer and binder. A fine copy.

Printed on a 1920 treadle-operated C&P platen press. The typeface is Kennerley, cast by Christ Stern, at Stern & Faye on the banks of the upper Skagit River. Display type is Deepden. This deluxe edition was printed on Domestic Etching, and signed by the author on the title-page and the printer and binder on the colophon page. Bound by hand into cloth & paper over boards. Title page art is an adaptation of traditional Japanese water motifs. The process of setting type by hand began in the winter, after the publishers' return from a teaching semester in Rock Springs, WY. Production then dragged on, slow as an Alaska winter, with the last pages finally fed through the press a month after fall equinox.
