London: Vale & Ballantyne Press For Hacon and Ricketts, 1903. Hardcover. Fine/No Jacket.
Rebound to match original Quarter linen. Blue paper boards. Original Printed label on the front cover in the Kings Fount. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal handling; text clean and bright with only a hint of age-toning on the text block edges. The label has the slightest darkening on the top edge.
8vo; 9.25 inches tall; pp. i-iv v-liv lv-lvi; 28 leaves; 6 blank leaves of the same paper. Designed by Charles Ricketts and printed under his supervision. One of 260 copies on paper. Sold by Hacon and Ricketts, London and John Lane, New York. Composed in the Fount called The King's Fount; Printed in red and black.
Comparatively uncommon with only 5 copies listed in universities or institutions plus 2 more recorded in Watry. [oclc]. The Kingis Quair is a poem of clear Chaucerian descent, written in the same seven-line stanzas as Trailus and Criseyde, that marks the beginning of a Chaucerian movement in the literature of Scotland.
The poem exists in only one manuscript, MS Arch. Selden B. 24 of the Bodleian Library at Oxford University, where it is twice attributed to King James I of Scotland (1424-1437).
Indeed, it is due to the connection with James that the particular seven-line stanza format in which the poem is written is now known as 'rhyme royal.'
Rickett's prefaced this edition with quotations taken from Rossetti's historical ballad 'The Kings Tradgedy'.
Richett's arranged to have the Vale Press publications printed at the Ballantyne Press as private press books by a carefully chosen selection of compositors, readers, pressmen and binders freed from the everyday demands of the press. [Watry]

Description:
The first-ever appearance in print of James Joyce's Story for Children, THE CATS OF COPENHAGEN in a special limited edition of 200 copies. Michael Caine has printed this large-format letterpress edition with virtuoso skill, setting the text in a wondrously expressive array of original, early twentieth-century hand-cut Italian and French founts to capture the imagination of readers young and old. Casey Sorrow has brought to life Joyce's curious 'Københavnere' with ingeniously playful pen-and-ink drawings, specially commissioned, and printed by typographique cliché.
This Numbered issue, printed on Fedrigoni Freelife Vellum, is in double-elephant sextos and hand-bound in one-quarter cloth over marbled boards.

Numbred. Limp Vellum. SHELLEY, Percy Bysshe. Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats. London: (Chiswick Press for the Reed Pale Press), 1935. Small, slim quarto, original full limp vellum, top edge gilt, uncut, blue silk ties.Limited edition of Shelley's moving tribute to his fallen friend, the poet John Keats. Number 180 of 250 copies, printed in red and black by the Chiswick Press and bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe.Composed as a pastoral elegy, specifically in the tradition of Milton's beautiful Lycidas, it was first published in the spring of 1821, immediately after hearing of Keats's death."Shelley's use of the classical pastoral elegy form was natural enough. He had studied and translated many classical elegies himself; he had also read and admired Milton's 17th century interpretation of the form in Lycidas. Most critics believe Shelley modeled Adonais upon Virgil's tenth Eclogue, Bion's elegy on the classical hero Adonis, and the anonymous elegy o Bion himself. It is a beautiful work and…

"On every standard typewriter, there's a metal bar with a row of teeth spaced exactly one-tenth of an inch apart. In 1874 this famous bar lifted the typewriter from the inventor's bench and placed it in the office where it changed our reading habits, modified our concepts of legibility, and eventually opened the world of business to women."

London: Unit Editions, 2021. 1st ed. Paperback. New/no dj as issued. A long overdue book examining the extraordinary life and work of artist/designer Ed Fella. Ed Fella is revered by many of the leading names in contemporary design. Now, at long last, there is a book that charts Ed's journey from the commercial design studios of 1950s Detroit to his current position as a widely celebrated artist/designer. Ed Fella: A Life in Images makes extensive use of his vast treasure store of visual delight: it showcases flyers, posters, original sketches, drawings, Polaroids and collages, as well as items from Ed's collection of vernacular design. The book makes unrestricted use of Ed's vast archive. David Cabianca, the book's co-author and its instigator, has surveyed the archive in depth. He writes: "Ed Fella's archive is legion. It branches into numerous streams while sustaining a robust trail of examples along the way. Fella's archive exhausts the possibilities one might find in graphic design. Ed Fella…

Please view photos for quality views."From the dust jacket: Paul Rand's stature as one of the world's leading graphic designers is uncontestable. For half a century his pioneering work in the field of advertising design and typography has exerted a profound influence on the design profession; he almost single-handedly transformed "commercial art" from a practice that catered to the lowest common denominator of taste to one that could assert its place among the fine arts. Among the numerous clients for whom he has been a consultant and/or designer are the American Broadcasting Company, IBM Corporation, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
In this witty and instructive book, Paul Rand speaks on the process and… Read More
