>1 wcarter: Beautiful.

Beautiful book. I can't get enough of those Richard de Bas papers.

That's a chunky impression! I like it. Nice ornament work too.

>1 wcarter: Wonderful pictures! Thanks for posting them. I like all the Pentagram/Tarachow books I've seen, though I only own a couple. He printed a lot of the Granjon arabesques, including in the beautiful Pentagram Press Commonplace Book. Love that Hosho paper and those de Bas covers. And it's always cool to see a new set of ligatures!

Beautiful... I LOVE posts like this! Beautiful letterpress books that are "uncommon" and far from the ordinary -- thanks for sharing and looking forward to your next pictorial review :)

I know I am not the first to succumb to a member's postings, but your photos compelled me to purchase a copy! Thanks for the lead (and for continuing my poorly moderated addiction to fine books).
