My thoughts exactly!
My third book from the Ashendene Press - Les Amours Pastorales de Daphnis et Chloe. Remember: two is a coincidence, three is a collection!
Spotted in a toilet in Hay on Wye. This is weirdly specific, very British, and poorly written!
From the library of C.H. St. John Hornby.
A beautiful inscription in a copy of: Dorothy A Harrop. A History of the Gregynog Press. Pinner, Private Libraries Association, 1980.
Today I’m taking a look at some of my Golden Cockerel Press ephemera.
Cataloguing my own collection of ephemera published by The Fleece Press. This is from 2005 and is FPE146 in the bibliography.
An astonishing story, brilliantly told.
Today’s reading.
Marginalia from the Sermons of Bernard of Clairvaux printed by Peter Schoeffer in 1475.
Tough crowd!
Unopened.
Two new pamphlets from Incline Press. Very nice they are too!
Everyone’s a critic! #MondayMarginalia
It was the wood engravings of Howard Phipps that first got me started on collecting fine press books. This splendid example is the frontispiece to: David Garnett. Never Be A Bookseller. Denby Dale, The Fleece Press, 1995. The marbled paper wrappers (by Ann Muir) are pretty fab too!
And here is the title page.
My most recent purchase. A Descriptive Bibliography of the Books printed at The Ashendene Press MDCCCXCV - MCMXXXV. I’m broke now, but it’s worth it!
