[GRUTER, Jan] Gruterus, Janus
Polyantheae tomus secundus
Argentorati: Sumptibus Haeredum Lazari Zetzneri 1624. Hardcover. Very Good. Thick folio. Two volumes in one. 12 1050; 1 -blank 8 994. Modern rear blank. Collation jumps from 980 to 985 at the end of volume two but the text seems complete there. Contemporary vellum with unidentified gilt armorial device to front board. Early signature to title. Pages a bit toned throughout but a sound copy of a scarce book. A mammoth volume of maxims by Flemish-born scholar and librarian Janus Gruterus. Gruterus was a professor of History at the University of Wittenburg until he lost his job in 1592 for refusing to compromise his Calvinist faith and subscribe to the Lutheran Formula of Concord. In this enclyclopedic humanist endeavor Gruterus presents the theological historical ancient and poetic occurences and significations of each subject. <br/><br/> Sumptibus Haeredum Lazari Zetzneri hardcover

[Janus Press] Bush, George W
Broadside "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!
Newark VT: Janus Press 2006. Broadside. Broadside. 22-1/2" x 15." Edition unknown. Collage broadside with a facsimile of the U.S. Constitution on a cream laid paper across which is laid the printed line: "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!" Beneath the facsimile is a description. A fine copy or nearly so. <br /> <br /> This was printed by Van Vliet and Ellen Dorn Levitt at the Janus Press for the 219th Anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. It relays an unfortunate outburst by then President George W. Bush in an Oval Office meeting between Republican Congressional leaders discussing the renewal of the USA Patriot Act in November of 2005. And while this was a moment in time the sentiment remains relevant in terms of the continued degradation of the founding document in the subsequent decade. Janus Press unknown

Optima in three different blues on Tenjugo inclusion in "quilt" of Japanese lace papers and kozo and gampi papers handmade by Amanda Degener. Fine copy. <br /> <br /> This is a beautiful poem by Kaufman so perfectly rendered in this striking collaboration between Claire Van Vliet Amanda Degener Barb Schubring and Michael Tarachow who set the type at his Pentagram Press in Minnesota. John Buchtel aptly describes this: "The result is a quilt-like pattern of different cut papers with the text on Tenjugo a nearly invisible extraordinarily thin Japanese tissue. A fine layer of fibrous gampi holds the pieces together and gives the feeling of a much used favorite quilt" The Art of Paper p. 40. As is the case with most of the Janus Press broadsides this is rare in commerce. Fine The Janus Press 1981-1990 p. 46. Note: Copy #10 that is depicted is sold another number from the limitation will be shipped if purchases. Janus Press & the Minnesota Center for Book Arts unknown

Printed dry in black and blue on pulp painting landscape made from kozo gampi and abaca fibers. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> A beautiful except from Lopez's Arctic Dreams the pulp painting is a inspired illustrations to Lopez's sentiment: "Whatever evaluation we make of a particular stretch of land no matter how accurate or profound it finally proves inadequate. The land retains an identity of its own still deeper and more subtle than we can know. Our obligation toward it then becomes simple: to approach with an uncalculating mind with an attitude of regard. To try to sense the range and variety of its expression—its weather and colors and animals. To intend from the beginning to preserve some of the mystery within it as a king of wisdom to be experienced not questioned. And to be alert for its openings for that moment when something sacred reveals itself within the mundane and you know the land knows you are there." Fine Janus Press — Fifty Years p. 46.

[Janus Press] Johanknecht, Susan
Fugal
Gefn Janus and Plowboy Presses 2025. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. Accordion. 9-1/2" x 4-3/4" closed. 12 pp. Limited edition one of 100 copies. Signed by Johankneckt Van Vliet and Miller-Brown at the colophon. As issued in stiff wrappers of Barcham Green India Office illustrated with an image of Bach's last known musical score the unfinished Fugue of The Art of the Fugue. The accordion style structure designed by Van Vliet folds into 12 unnumbered pages that read parallel to the folds recto and verso. All housed in a handmade paper slipcase with "fugal" printed on the spine. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> A wonderful collaboration between Susan Johanknecht Claire Van Vliet and Andrew Miller-Brown. Inspired by Bach Fugues Johanknecht's poem is printed on the recto of accordion-fold. As Van Vliet and Miller-Brown were puzzling over the project last fall it became apparent that the lines could be read aloud in any order. This morphed into the accumulating text on the verso. True to the musical definition of a fugue this presentation of the poem develops through repetition and interweaving. A wonderful homage to the musical form and to Bach in particular; all the while developing into something that is not merely an homage. Gefn, Janus, and Plowboy Presses unknown

[Janus Press] Van Vliet, Claire (lithographs)
Greed
Newark VT: Janus Press 2013. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. 6-1/2" x 7." Limited edition one of 120 copies. Accordion fold with 8 panels 4 of them are fold-down pages. Each of the four page-spreads include letterpress text in various typefaces and colors which fold-down expanding the canvas of words sayings and accusations including a catalog of U.S. Senators and Representatives of the 111th Congress who became lobbyists—a list that fills the fold-down page in a small font; these opposite a lithograph by Van Vliet each lithograph is titled by the top word on the opposite page: Propagandist Lobbyist Banker Joe Public. Bound in gold paper repeated printed with the word "Greed" and all housed in gold slipcase. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> In a contemporary newspaper article in the Burlington Free Press Candace Page relates an interview with Van Vliet: "She picks up dummy of GREED a slim volume that will sit inside a glittery cover of gold paper. It opens like an accordion to display four Van Vliet black-and-white lithographs of distorted faces: A banker a lobbyist a newscaster she says 'and this one on the end the sap John Q. Public us.'" <br /> <br /> Van Vliet continues in the Page interview: "The word 'greed' will be printed multiple times on the cover in heavy unevenly inked type as though it were printed contemptuously by some greedy person with no respect for the written word. The paper is not handmade — that would be too good for the book. Instead it is 'slick nasty machine-made paper' she says. The edges of the gold cover will be sharp 'because greed is not a comfortable subject.'" There is a wonderful irony that the lithographs employed in Greed were originally drawn for an edition of Kafka decades before that just weren't quite right for the project. Here they are perfect! <br /> <br /> This is a striking book a political book one might say an angry and defiant book. Van Vliet's politics being informed by the McCarthy era during which she was a student she admits to having distrusted the powerful ever since. This edition sold out very quickly and is now rare in commerce. A book that was is and will always be relevant. Janus Press unknown

In card slipcase with printed paper label on the spine. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> A remarkable collection Luck's lyrics are by turns searching defiant and resigned but always personal and human "I thought when I threw away the bus transfers / I used again and again / I would lose this turbulence / in the coming and going / from here to there." A wonderful book of poetry wonderfully illustrated by Luck; and here beautifully designed and printed in the inimitable fashion of the Janus Press. And few Janus Press books are issued without some novel playfulness or unique element to their structure. Here a three-leaf section with short "grook" poems one on top and one on the bottom of each page that has a horizontal cut across the middle so the top and bottom of each leaf turn independently allowing the reader to navigate these several poems in a less prescriptive manner.
