I had a great time at Oak Knoll this last weekend. A big thanks to Bob and Millie Fleck for hosting once again and making us all welcome in their town, home and store. It is a lot of effort to pull off such an event and this years structure with the symposium, speakers and exhibition hall flowed seamlessly and was continually engaging.

It’s an event like this that really charges one’s batteries. The friendships get cemented, new connections are made and the opportunity to see world class work (from around the world no less) and learn from others processes is invaluable to me being stuck in the north woods most of the rest of the time.

I thought some of you might be interested in who else was at the Fest this year so here’s a link to an introduction of the presses put out on Oak Knoll’s Biblio-Blog: http://oakknollbooks.wordpress.com/tag/oak-knoll-fest/

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.
