‎San Jijitsu. Japanese Coloured Woodblock Prints on Sericulture (Making of Silk).‎

‎A rare nineteenth century Japanese tutorial on sericulture (the making of silk), including details on the silk worms from which the fine thread is harvested, produced in woodblock print. 8vo. 3 volumes, 209 pages combined, with publisher's details to red frontis leaf. The complete text, including 31 full page wood printed illustrations - the first three being beautifully hand coloured. Traditional karitoji binding ("semi-bound" meaning title page and contents without a book cover) string-stitched at spine, fukurotoji style ("bound-pocket" with folded leafs bound into spine), and opening from left to right. Yellow paper covers, titled in manuscript ink to verso. Each volume with a red ink stamp to the first text leaf. All text is in Japanese. Each volume measures approximately 15 x 22 cm. Housed together in purpose-made three-panel folding portfolio, blue cloth boards with working bone clasps, measuring approximately 16,5 x 23 x 3,5 cm. Ink blemishes to two of the illustrations, quite likely a printing mishap, minor age-toning primarily to boards, otherwise very good and original condition, a pleasing historic work dealing with silk production in Japan. Beginning with three lovely hand-coloured woodcut illustrations, the first volume describes the coveted miniscule Bombyx mori that creates the delicate strands that are used to produce the world's finest fabric. It goes on to explain the process, how to lay the eggs on a sheet of paper, the importance of harvesting mulberry leaves to feed the larvae, transferring grown silkworms to other bamboo mats to feed them, and the multiple tools needed for the job at hand. Fieldwork is the focus of the second and largest volume, which demonstrates the arduous task of planting and maintaining a mulberry plantation, which will ultimately determine the health of the silkworms and one's profitability. In the third volume, we see men gathering twigs and women loosely weaving these into safe-havens for the silkworms to settle comfortable. The cocoons are placed on round trays, and eventually the silkworm moth fly away after hatching. Various stages of preparing the thread are shown, for example stretching the silk floss hand-spinning the thread from cocoons sitting in a pan of boiling water. A merchandising scene concludes the illustrations.‎

‎SALLER CAROL FISHER‎

‎The Subversive Copy Editor: Advice From Chicago or How To Negotiate Good Relationships With Your Writers Your Colleagues And Yourself‎

‎University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. Each year writers and editors submit over three thousand grammar and style questions to the Q&A page at The Chicago Manual of Style Online. Some are arcane some simply hilarious�and one editor Carol Fisher Saller reads every single one of them. All too often she notes a classic author-editor standoff wherein both parties refuse to compromise on the "rights" and "wrongs" of prose styling: "This author is giving me a fit." "I wish that I could just DEMAND the use of the serial comma at all times." "My author wants his preface to come at the end of the book. This just seems ridiculous to me. I mean it's not a post-face." In The Subversive Copy Editor Saller casts aside this adversarial view and suggests new strategies for keeping the peace. Emphasizing habits of carefulness transparency and flexibility she shows copy editors how to build an environment of trust and cooperation. One chapter takes on the difficult author; another speaks to writers themselves. Throughout the focus is on serving the reader even if it means breaking "rules" along the way. Saller's own foibles and misadventures provide ample material: "I mess up all the time" she confesses. "It's how I know things." Writers Saller acknowledges are only half the challenge as copy editors can also make trouble for themselves. Does any other book have an index entry that says "terrorists. See copy editors" The book includes helpful sections on e-mail etiquette work-flow management prioritizing and organizing computer files. One chapter even addresses the special concerns of freelance editors. Saller's emphasis on negotiation and flexibility will surprise many copy editors who have absorbed along with the dos and don'ts of their stylebooks an attitude that their way is the right way. In encouraging copy editors to banish their ignorance and disorganization insecurities and compulsions the Chicago Q&A presents itself as a kind of alter ego to the comparatively staid Manual of Style. In The Subversive Copy Editor Saller continues her mission with audacity and good humor. "An insider's book to cure writers . . . while shoring up editors. . . . Good advice." --TLS "In Brief" "One of the great virtues of this book which has been very well copy-edited is the many helpful examples of exchanges and situations Saller uses to illustrate her points. Many are real�and some incidentally very funny." --William Safire New York Times "Carol Fisher Saller . . . knows editing is as much about people as paragraphs and that mastering diplomacy is as important as mastering stylebooks." --American Copy Editors Society "A little insider baseball . . . What may be the best copy editor's companion since the CMS the AP Style Guide and that dog-eared xerox of copy editing marks you keep tacked up on the cubicle wall. . . . With entire chapters devoted to the freelancer and the writer and an extensive guide for further reading this is an ideal complement to any style guide: practical relentlessly supportive and full of ed-head laughs" --Publishers Weekly Online "In this slim volume Saller not only presents the sometimes muddy art of copyediting in a clear matter-of-fact way; she has a lot of fun doing it. . . . The Subversive Copyeditor is a wonderful read for anyone involved in copyediting and an especially good 'welcome' gift for the many enthusiastic�and regrettably underpaid�interns now entering the publishing field." --Publishing Research Quarterly "Carol Fisher Saller has hit this one out of the ballpark. Ms. Saller is knowledgeable and funny her advice practical and relevant and the book she has written is above all readable. So readable in fact that when I received a set of uncorrected page proofs for review I could not put them down. . . . It was exhilarating as if I'd been to a revival meeting where Ms. Saller was the preacher and I was the amen corner." --Wendalyn Nichols Copyediting "A wonderfully concise yet nuanced guide for the working or would-be-working copy editor. . . . Saller wears her experience well urging flexibility transparency and tact�along with obviously consistency and reason�in working with authors and their copy." --Alan Moores Booklist "It's no surprise that the droll and seemingly all-knowing wizard behind the Chicago Style Q&A puts it all together�entertainingly�for manuscript editors in this real-world guide to job success and survival. The surprise is how urgent it is for every author client and boss who works with editors to embrace Carol Fisher Saller's 'subversiveness'�or suffer the next outcome from hell." --Arthur Plotnik author of The Elements of Editing and Spunk & Bite: A Writer's Guide to Bold Contemporary Style among others. Q. I'm just starting out as a copy editor. I've read the style manuals but can you suggest a book that will give me a sense of what's important and put my job in perspective A. Happily yes. In The Subversive Copy Editor you will find chatty sensible advice from the guru behind the Chicago Style Q&A. Carol Fisher Saller's well-reasoned plea for carefulness transparency and flexibility will keep both on-staff and freelance editors on the right path. �Jenya Weinreb Managing Editor Yale University Press "Serving the reader by working cooperatively with the writer Sometimes throwing 'the rules' out the window Clearing the decks of pet peeves mythical prohibitions and intractability That is subversive. And welcome." Craig Lancaster Billings Gazette "Watch Yer Language" blog "Anyone who has struggled with how to apply various rules to improve her writing would benefit from reading Saller's book. Though it isn't a style guide itself�that's what the Chicago Manual and other guides are for�the book is a perfect complement to such guides." --Sarah C. Lange The Writer "Carol Fisher Saller is the mentor that every copyeditor dreams of: wise smart shrewd gracious generous and self-deprecating. Her advice on how to manage your deadlines your computer files and e-mail your relations with authors and colleagues and your editorial compulsions fears and superstitions will add years long happy productive years to your life." Amy Einsohn author of The Copyeditor's Handbook "I've got dozens of books concerned with the nuts and bolts of copy-editing but this is the only one that teaches the fine art of chilling out. . . . Saller's project in about 100 pages is to a civilize the editing process and b keep copy editors�meticulous and learned and hard-working but also stubborn and obsessive sometimes injuriously so�from going insane. . . . There's advice here on deadline management e-mail etiquette and how to handle 'the difficult author'. . . . 'The Subversive Copy Editor' will remain on my shelf. I think Mr. Bernstein and Messrs. Strunk and White will find Saller to be good company." --Jennifer Balderama New York Times blog "Papercuts" "An entertaining trip even for those who never plan to lift a red pen or use the editing feature of a word-processing program." --Tom Frisbee Chicago Sun-Times "While copy editors are Saller's target audience The Subversive Copy Editor includes wisdom that applies to just about anyone: how to ask questions without making them sound like accusations and how to prevent your in-box from becoming an unmanageable mountain of e-mails." --Robert Loerzel Time Out Chicago "Carol Fisher Saller is a comedian in copy editor's clothing--or should that be comedienne . . . This is not a book about where the commas go but rather where an editor's hand should and shouldn't go. . . . While the book is probably most useful to new or would-be editors some of its advice is universal�communicate quickly and directly be organized but resist compulsion take deadlines seriously document everything. Each chapter is prefaced with a question with the clever answer placed at the end and her stories from the front lines the writer who described someone hiking 5723 miles up a mountain the editor who used a phone to anonymously wake her napping boss keep things entertaining." --Jim Foti Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Carol Fisher Saller is a nicer person than I am�not that that is any great feat. She maintains the question-and-answer feature at The Chicago Manual of Style's online site giving brisk concise helpful and sometimes amused answers to a barrage of questions from writers and editors. That same level-headed advice appears on every page of The Subversive Copy Editor. . . . If you are a copy editor an aspirant to copy editing or a writer dealing with copy editors a $13 investment will be money well spent on your career. . . . . I wish I had had this book 30 years ago; it could have saved me from any number of rash actions and missteps." --John E. McIntyre Baltimore Sun "You don't say" blog "The Subversive Copy Editor is a delightful book. I haven't had this much fun reading about things editorial since devouring Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird. . . . Saller's book is filled with excellent advice and illuminating anecdotes and Saller has an engaging writing style and a wonderful sense of humor." --Stephanie Deming Science Editor "Saller writes with equal parts of experience and heart. . . . Whether you are a casual editor a teacher a student or a communications professional you likely should read this book if not for the concise fount of wisdom it is then at least for a knowing chuckle or two. You'll laugh you'll cry you'll take notes." --Gary Hernandez Technical Communication "The Subversive Copy Editor�what a great title! That alone was enough to make me pick up a copy right away. . . . --Society of Writers Editors & Translators "The advice it contains is solid and pertinent and I suspect it could be quite an eye-opener�possibly even life-changing�for some working editors. Saller's humor is infectious and helps her to make points effectively so that even experienced editors happy with their working relationships will enjoy the read as well as possibly picking up some useful suggestions and tips and gaining some beneficial insights." --Stephen K. Donovan Journal of Scholarly Publishing "The author succeeds in maintaining momentum to justify these early revelations in the rest of the book. She has written a collection of simple practical messages for copy editors and their authors favouring a readable chatty style that doesn't seek to overemphasize them. Saller's prose thus remains digestible with sufficient examples to illustrate her message. Although much of the substance of this book will be common sense to an experienced organized thinking editor it is nonetheless worth repeating particularly in such a readable style." --Barbara Rixstine Lincoln Journal Star "A treasure house of advice stories suggestions and how to handle the difficult author. If you work with copy or authors you should have this book by your desk." Pamela Toler American Society of Journalists and Authors Monthly University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London: 2016 hardcover‎
