As promised, here are some more pictures of the regular edition of Moon as Bright as Water for you to enjoy. This book is exceedingly difficult to photograph with the batiked paper changing color at different angles.

The book is printed in three colors on 150gsm Hahnemühle Biblio and type is composed in Dante. This edition is covered in a sage Asahi book cloth with cotton indigo colored Shizen batik paper with a hint of gold highlights and has a velum spine title. It is housed in a slipcase of warm grey cotton book cloth.

There will be 10 in the deluxe edition which will be quarter bound in a vellum spine with a yet to be determined paper housed in a nice drop spine box. 10 copies reserved for David Young and other contributors to the project. 10 unbound for bookbinders leaving a regular edition of 65 to 70 copies. The regular edition is priced at $650.00, unbound copies are $400.00

I will have it on my website available for purchase upon my return from the Oak Knoll Fest this coming weekend.

Tomorrow there will be some proper photographs of the new book enclosed with a slipcase but the first prototype cases are still drying in the press at the moment. Allow me to introduce the regular edition binding of Moon as Bright as Water by the exiled 11th century Chinese poet Qin Guan. This is the first time these poems will be printed in English, our thanks to David Young and, posthumously, William McNaughton for bringing forth these translations.

Copies will be available this coming weekend at the Oak Knoll Fest in New Castle, Delaware. My partner in Chester River Press, James Dissette and I will be at my table along with my other Deep Wood Press titles that are currently available. More details to come in the following days.
