WE NOW COME TO THE FIRST OF THREE POSTS DEALING WITH SEVERAL PRESSES AT ONCE AS I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH ITEMS FROM ANY ONE OF THEM FOR A SEPARATE POST.
FIRST UP IS BARBARIAN PRESS, ONE ITEM
ONE ITEM FROM CADMUS EDITIONS, A PRIMARILY LITERARY PRESS, PRESENTED BECAUSE OF ITS SUBJECT. I HAVE OTHER ITEMS FROM THIS PUBLISHER, BUT I DO NOT CONSIDER IT TO BE ON A LEVEL WITH WHAT WE NORMALLY SEE AS “FINE PRESSES,” ALTHOUGH THEY PRINTED THEIR BOOKS BY LETTERPRESS.
NOW COMES KAT RAN PRESS, LOCATED IN FLORENCE, MASSACHUSETTS.
THIS COVER IS ACTUALLY A DEEP, FOREST GREEN. I HAD TO LIGHTEN THE IMAGE IN ORDER FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE PRINTING. IN REALITY, THE BLACK INK DISAPPEARS IN THE DARK GREEN PAPER. NOT A GOOD CHOICE, METHINKS. YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF THE TRUE COLOR IN THE SUBSEQUENT IMAGES OF THE INTERIOR, AS THE COVER PEEKS OUT FROM BEHIND THE PAGES.
END OF PART ONE. PART TWO TO FOLLOW SHORTLY.
