2013ref. 11567Newark 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. 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.'" 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! 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

1621ref. RW1599Wittenberg:: Zacharias Schurer 1621. 1621. Small 4to. 25 ff. 1557 pp. 62 ff. Title vignette extensive index; occasional early & minor ink underlining. Original full vellum. Very good copy. Plautus is one of the most celebrated comic poets of Rome. This important edition by Gruter with Taubmann's commentaries is highly regarded. Jan Gruter 1560-1627 a Flemish-born philologist scholar and librarian at Heidelberg was the last curator of the Palatine library in Heidelberg at the time one of the greatest repositories of classical manuscripts in Europe. / "As custodian of the Palatine MSS Janus Gruter had always been ready to oblige scholars who publicly acknowledged his aid. The excerpts from the MSS of Camerarius which he sent to Taubman for his edition of Plautus 1605-12 were duly acknowledged; but he regarded with disfavour and endeavoured to discredit the Plautine labours of Philipp Pareus. . .In the third edition of Taubmann's text Gruter attempted to reflect on the accuracy of Pareus by stating that the text of Taubmann had been bona fide collated by the librarian himself with that of the MSS." – Sandys A History of Classical Scholarship vol. II p. 362. CONTENTS being all 20 extant Varronian plays by Plautus: 1. Amphitruo; 2. Asinaria; 3. Aulularia; 4. Captivi; 5. Curculio; 6. Casina; 7. Cistellaria; 8. Epidicus; 9. Bacchides; 10.

ref. 9785Newark VT: Janus Press 2016. Wrappers. Fine binding. Quarto. 114 pp. frontis. illus. Limited edition one of 120 numbered copies. Signed by Hulme and Van Vliet. Bound using a woven strip binding designed by Claire Van Vliet; the covers are a dynamic pulp-painting with a vitreograph frontispiece with five additional illustrations that were digitally composed by Van Vliet and are original archival inkjet prints on handmade paper; these seem to blend photography and Van Vliet's pulp painting creating a striking and textured result. This is accompanied by a small octavo glossary with eight letterpress pages and fold-out photograph. All laid into a clamshell box of paper boards with acrylic-painted fore-edge and moon inset on the spine; map of Moeraki mounted inside the upper cover; maple and tamarack sides. Housed in slipcase with printed title label. A fine copy. Among the most ambitious projects of the Press it is one of the largest at 114 pages and the longest projects of the Press taking 20 years from contact to completion. Each of the 6 "Conversations" are printed on different handmade papers many of which have varying leaf sizes. The poetry by Booker Prize-winning author of Bone People Keri Hulme rewards attention and patience. Similarly Van Vliet's books require more attention from the reader and Silences is no exception. For instance in one "conversation" she varies the page size and relationship-some leaves being half-page strips on the lower portion of the book can be paged through while sequences of cutouts and illustrations along the top remain are turned less frequently creating a constancy. Even the form of the book can be altered: the page-spread illustrations for instance can be pulled forward at the inner fold making what was two dimensional into three-dimensional. One can do this with all the illustrations simultaneously creating what Van Vliet describes in her Notes for Press Patrons "a three dimensional wagon wheel display." This book is a beautiful choreography between text image and form-all elements in harmony. Buchtel John A. The Art of Paper: Claire Van Vliet and the Janus Press: Papermaking Collaborations 2024.
