New York: Crown Publishers 1976. Full Leather. Fine binding. Octavo. 160 pp. illus. First edition first printing thus. Full bound in burgundy morocco with blind-tooling sanding and dyed and acrylic-toned goat onlays. Top edge gilt with sgraffito designed. Hand-woven silk endbands. Housed in clamshell box. <br /> <br /> In this binding Brenda Gallagher has drawn from Boyce's erotic illustrations to render a beautifully blind-tooled drawing spanning both covers. Stamped onlays and sanded details bring the binding into perfect union with the text. Gallagher has subtly titled the cover by embedding both the author's name and title within the blind tooling. A remarkably designed and excellently executed binding capturing the spirit of Nin's prose and quite directly the character of Boyce's drawings. Gallagher is a design bookbinder and a graduate of the American Academy of Bookbinding. Crown Publishers unknown
New York: Printed by William Edwin Rudge for the Grolier Club 1927. Full Leather. Very Good binding. Quarto. 6 xxiii 1 208 2 pp. illus. Limited edition one of 390 copies. This copy bound by Don Glaister in full crimson goatskin with typographic design referencing Rogers's type design throughout the volume—a stylized A on the front cover and Z on the rear tooled in blind and gold transitioning to painted lines. Glaister employs slightly raised and recessed areas beneath the leather with occasional light sanding all to offer subtle dimensionality a suggestive nod to the raise aspects of type. Crimson cork endpapers gold and crimson silk headbands accent the original gold top-edge. Signed in blind on the rear pastedown with date and gold dot "Donald Glaister 2025." Fine in clamshell.<br /> <br /> This edition designed by Bruce Rogers is the first English translation of Tory's landmark work begun in 1523 and published 1529. Tory's influence on 16th century typography was immeasurable—moving French printing away from gothic types towards the roman faces a movement that would define modern typography. D. B. Updike calls Tory's Champ Fleury "one of the important books in the history of letter design" I p. 188. A beautiful edition that took decades for Rogers to bring from a proposal to the Grolier Club to a printed edition. And of all he designed it was among Rogers's favorite #24 in BR Thirty. Tory's groundbreaking and forward-looking work had long been a classic text by the time Rogers designed this edition 400 years later. Now 100 years further on Glaister adds his voice to this typographic tradition and in his distinct style takes these now-classic letterforms and nudges them into modernity. Haas 413. Grolier 361.

San Francisco: Arion Press 2022. Full Leather. Fine binding. Large quartos. 171 1; 27 pp. illus. Limited edition number 52 of 250 "Fine Press" copies 50 Deluxe copies were also issued. Both volumes finely bound by American design binder Robin Brandes. Phantasia in black straight-grained goatskin with crimson doublures and gray suede flyleaves; onlays of distressed mirror mylar composed with image transfers and exotic leathers. The Raven is inversely bound in crimson straight-grained goatskin with black doublures and gray suede flyleaves. Striking raven wing spans from fore-edge of the front board around the spine to midway on the rear board—"feathers" composed of textured fabric with a suede finish and distressed mirror mylar. Fine copies each in crimson cloth clamshell. Prospectus laid in. <br /> <br /> A remarkable production from the Arion Press presenting some of Poe's most recognizable tales and poems here illustrated by American artist Natalie Frank—color as well as black and white; both full page and in-text illustrations printed in offset lithography and overprinted by letterpress. Brandes's restrained bindings are perfectly suited to these books rendering visually the same experience one feels when reading Poe and navigating the uncertain terrain he creates—clear enough that one recognizes the landscape but subtly disquieting. The binder writes in her artist's statement: "In his short lifetime Edgar Allan Poe became the pre-eminent chronicler of the unquiet mind. A mixture of unusual materials and striking color palette were used to emanate an enigmatic yet dramatic presentation. The haunting cover portrait I created for Poe's Phantasia is a mosaic suggesting shapes of 2 ravens. Image transfers of Poe's eyes on distressed mirror mylar and onlays of exotic leathers evoke Poe's unquiet disturbed mind filled with illusions and wishing for the return of lost love. For the covers of The Raven I designed the raven wing feathers to be a bold presentation for one of the most translated poems in history." <br /> <br /> Brandes has been binding for nearly a decade and already has a notable resume having been exhibited at Arion Press The American Bookbinders Museum The Book Club of California Guild of Book Workers San Francisco Center for the Book and more. Brandes's binding of 2020 Vision was the First Place Winner of the Rocky Mountain Guild of Book Workers 2023 Traveling Exhibition. Arion Press unknown
