Looking forward to getting my copy of 1,000 Artist’s Books in the mail any day now.

My book, There Be Monsters, makes a modest appearance. It was down to the wire when the authors asked me to be in the book so the pictures were quite hurried and I didn’t have my fancy new DSLR for optimal results but its still nice to be asked. My thanks to the authors – Peter and Donna Thomas and Sandra Salamony for their work on the project and Quarry Books for publishing it.

The book is available at Amazon and other booksellers, just released.

I’m happy to say that printing has come to an end for the latest book – The Intruder by Robert Traver / John Voelker.

The last of the little wood engravings by Jim Westergard have been done and today the colophon was run through the press. The other four sections of the book have already been collated and folded, tomorrow this final section will be gathered. Punching the holes for the sewn binding will also begin and from here on out we’ll be focused on bindery operations.

I will try to get books out to those of you who purchased in advance as soon as possible.

For the specialty hand book binders 10 copies have been set aside in the numbered edition to be sold in sheets. Their are 7 still available on a first come first serve basis as these quickly sell out. Contact me directly for details as these are not on the website yet.
