Great post. Those are absolutely beautiful books. I am a big fan of the letterpress. I love seeing posters, etc. created using this equipment. We actually have a letterpress business here in Kansas City, Hammerpress, that offers tours. I really need to get down there this summer and check it out (and buy some merchandise!).

your garden is lovely as well. strangely enough, it is a commonality we share … my original university degree is landscape architecture / garden design ….. my garden has given me many peaceful, calming moments. working in it becomes meditative for me and metaphorical ( a vine choking a tree causing me to consider what in my own life is choking me ..) unfortunately, i have not gardened in a year, and both it and I have suffered ….

I am always so happy to share books, Lady Blue. It gives me as much satisfaction as sharing my garden; it is such a waste to keep these things just to oneself. And you are correct, these books are beautiful not only to look at, but also to hold. I am pleased Carl reminded me of them, so that I sought them out.

These are simply glorious …… i love the ink, paper, bindings, endpapers and handmade craftsmanship of books such as these …. and i must admit to a slight tinge of envy …..

thank you for sharing your treasures with me,

fondly,
lady blue
