Not started, but have a ready stack of titles to decide from. Probably up to Book 12 or so. ^_^

>2 Shadekeep: Based on other comments you've made in this forum, I'm betting I'd like all twelve of those books.

I got one up my sleeve. And it's not The Awakening. ;)

After the completion of the second book, I'd like an assessment of the capabilities of the press, i.e., can we feasibly publish a longer work.

>7 ultrarightist: Based on current costs, I'm a bit skeptical of a longer work, but we shall see when the time comes.

I have been cogitating upon the matter and have several candidates in mind . . . .

Particularly, a selection of essays by Loren Eiseley (1907-1977). For those not familiar with this author, he was an anthropologist, educator, philosopher, and natural science writer.
Richard Wentz describes what he feels are the significance and purposes of Eiseley's writings: "For Loren Eiseley, writing itself becomes a form of contemplation. Contemplation is a kind of human activity in which the mind, spirit and body are directed in solitude toward some other. Scholars and critics have not yet taken the full measure of contemplation as an art that is related to the purpose of all scholarly activity – to see things as they really are ... Using narrative, parable and exposition, Eiseley has the uncanny ability to make us feel that we are accompanying him on a journey into the very heart of the universe. Whether he is explicating history or commenting on the ideas of a philosopher, a scientist or a theologian, he takes us with him on a personal visit."
(Wentz, Richard E., The American Spirituality of Loren Eiseley. Archived 2009-10-07 at the Wayback Machine Christian Century, April 25, 1984.)
I heartily recommend the Wikipedia article on Eiseley if you want to know more about the man and understand why I recommend his work for fine press treatment by CP.

Hard to believe we’re nearly halfway through 2026.
From my perspective, it seems things are moving along nicely. Jason Dewientz has nearly finished the design, as mentioned in a comment on another thread, and great paper has been secured.
Back in January, there was a little discussion around whether it might be possible to produce the edition in a year. It was felt that this could be doable. Is that still the case, or should we anticipate this taking a bit longer? I’m fine with it either way, of course; just hoping for a mid-year sense of how much remains to be accomplished.

A Message From Your Group AdminI'm in the process of selecting a printer and we already have the binder on board. Jason's design work is 95% finished. We should have all that wrapped up and be ready to print by the end of July (fingers crossed!).
As there will be no trans-Atlantic shipping to deal with, it is entirely possible -- God willing and the Creek don't rise -- we will have the book ready to ship before the end of this year. But don't quote me on that!
