In less than a week I will be in Berkeley California for the Codex International Book Fair & Symposium. Preparations have been going full force here at Deep Wood Press creating new presentation bindings of some of the most recent books and I now have the final draft of my new Kafka translation for The Hunter Gracchus that will preview at the Fair.

A couple of updates from the last post: Exquisite Editions – An International Exhibition of Finely Printed Books now has a web page, so if you happen to be in Dublin, Ireland March 4th – April 18th stop into the National Print Museum for what looks to be a beautiful show of contemporary letterpress book editions.

The lectures and workshop I’m giving for the Seattle Book Arts Guild now has web pages up for the events here. Lectures are Feb. 12th at 7pm at the University of Washington Library, Feb. 13th at Pacific Lutheran University at 4pm and the workshop is Feb 14th & 15th at Pacific Lutheran from 9am-5pm.

With luck I may be able to get one last post up before I leave this week of some pics of the Gracchus prototype but time is running short. I’ll leave you for now with some pictures of some of the presentation bindings I’ll be bringing with me to Codex. Hopefully I will see some of you there!

Ok, so I’m not putting up a lot of posts here, that’ll change once things settle into a routine again.

Right now I’m gearing up to leave on Tuesday for the Oak Knoll Fest in New Castle Delaware. I’ll have a table set up along with 40 other fine presses from around the world so if you happen to be in the neighborhood please stop by. There will be symposiums happening during Saturday and Sunday free to the public as is the exhibit hall where we will be showing (and selling) our books.

Before I go I’ve got to finish up a small commission from the Oxford University Society of Bibliophiles and also get together materials for an exhibit at the State of Michigan Library and State Archives in Lansing. I’ll be giving a talk there on Oct. 27th in conjunction with the show.

New books are underway as well as getting the Deluxe editions of The Intruder finally out the door. The new apprentice, Daniel Davis, started a couple weeks ago and things are looking good for the season ahead. Please stay tuned.
