Heavenly Monkey: February 2015

http://heavenlymonkeybooks.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Inexplicably, an Interview With HM. It's a Random Notes post this week. I left that Decorating Paper. Codex blog up so people could track down some details after seeing it at the show. I've been surprised at the almost complete lack of social media chatter about the book fair - before, during and after. The Foundation's own site links to a blog, but it hasn't been updated since spring of 2014. Bob McCamant supplied a summary of the four-day event on the FPBA's blog. The book was collected and edited by J...

THE BOOK TROUT: NYC Antiquarian Book Fair 2015

http://booktrout.blogspot.com/2015/04/nyc-antiquarian-book-fair-2015.html

Books, Book Selling, Book Reading, Book Loving. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. NYC Antiquarian Book Fair 2015. Having attended and exhibited at a number of "provincial" book fairs, it was a special treat to visit the grandaddy of them all, the ABAA's New York Antiquarian Book Fair. My reconnaissance mission was overlaid with the pleasure of seeing some bookseller friends in action and having my daughter want to accompany me after so many years of thinking what her dad and I do is hopelessly pointless and boring.

Heavenly Monkey: September 2014

http://heavenlymonkeybooks.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Finding a New Purpose for Books (! While on vacation in August, which typically means trawling the used bookshops of whatever town we're visiting, I had a series of encounters that would take the wind out of any book publisher's sails. The first, in the discount bin of a large university bookstore, was The Repurposed Library. A day later I saw this article. By Eve Kahn in The Times. At least these don't necessarily seem to be repurposed books, but rather things intentionally designed to look like a book.

Heavenly Monkey: April 2015

That Kind of Type. Yesterday with the terminally kool Henry Winkler, who has dyslexia. He's co-authored a very popular series of books for young readers about a kid (Hank Zipzer) with dyslexia. In the interview he mentioned that one of the books had been set in a face designed specifically to be more easily read by people with the condition. I needed to see what that would look like:. Dyslexie was designed by Christian Boer. Dezeen. Magazine ran a short piece. By pure coincidence, the Dezeen. Personal to...

Heavenly Monkey: December 2014

http://heavenlymonkeybooks.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

A Couple Sheets of Paper for Christmas. That's (mostly) all I got. They are, however, pieces of Dard Hunter's watermarked Mountain House paper, and printed upon them are announcements for two of his publications, Old Papermaking in China and Japan. 1932) and Papermaking in Indo-China. 1947) Nice accompaniments to Dard Jr's type-casting pamphlet. I like the typed addendum at the top of the Old Papermaking. Telling is it was printed on the handpress four up (i.e. in quarto). Comes in around $1,200, which m...
