Bradbury Bromer 7When Linnea Gentry moved her successful Amaranth Press from San Francisco to Santa Fe in 1980 she brought an exceptional sense of quality and a reputation as one of the Bay area’s most talented book artists. Gentry started her career as a designer at the EP Dutton firm in New York. In San Francisco she camped on the doorstep of the much-lauded Grabhorn Press until she was taken on as a typesetting apprentice. She later launched her Amaranth Press where she turned out fine letterpress work for a discriminating clientele. In the mid-1970s she helped found and became production manager of Fine Print an international journal of the book arts.Her introduction to New Mexico came during childhood visits to her aunt Helen Gentry a renowned book designer and publisher who lived part-time in Santa Fe during the 1930s and 1940s and settled there after 1965. Colored by the elder Gentry’s circle of artist friends the visits made a deep impression and influenced the Amaranth’s brief stay in Santa Fe before Gentry closed the press in 1983. privatepress.orgThe binder Roland Meuter maintains an atelier in Ascona Switzerland where he continues to produce imaginatively designed bindings that attract considerable attention Anne & David Bromer hardcover

1896réf. 695L12London: George Routledge 1896. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 8" by 5". Not Stated. A very bright and smart complete six volume set of Edgar Allan Poe's writings. A beautiful set being the 'Fordham' edition. Illustrated with a frontispiece to each volume. Volume I has an additional six folding facsimile plates. Volumes II and IV both have an additional plate. Therefore eight plates across all volumes and six folding facsimiles. A very bright six volume set of this 'Fordham' edition. The Fordham edition was produced to lighten Poe's dark mysterious image with the reading public. It was first issued in 1884. This is the second issue published in 1896 which enhances the appearance of the books with the gilt decorative scrolling to the spines. This second issue is the first to include the essays and memoirs by Richard Henry Stoddard. Richard Henry Stoddard was an American critic and poet. He was a major figure in New York and is arguable one of the most knowledgeable experts on Edgar Allan Poe. A very smart collection of this American writer's work. Scarce to have so many volumes together and in such a lovely condition. In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally very smart with just some minor bumping to the head and tail of spines. Remnants of a bookseller's label to the front pastedown of all volumes. Prior owner's inscription to the recto of front endpaper to volume II-VI 'J Walters 1913'. Internally all volumes are firmly bound. Pages are very bright. Scattered spotting to the fore edge affecting the occasional page. Otherwise just the occasional scattered spots. Very Good Indeed George Routledge hardcover
