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...

Deflation Land: June 2015

Sic transit gloria mundi. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Books: A summer trip to Anderson-Butler Rare Books. If you live in the greater Puget Sound area, and you can read, and you prefer to read good. Books instead of popular trash, then you owe it to yourself to visit Anderson-Butler Rare Books. In the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. With the demise of Wessel and Lieberman. Downstairs, Twice Sold Tales. Across the street, and finishing up with the indispensable and very high-turnover (churn is good) Magus Books.

Book Hunter's Holiday. Newer posts →. September 17, 2012 · 7:40 pm. Chapter 717 Views from the Sacramento Antiquarian Book Fair. The booth across the aisle from mine at the Sacramento Antiquarian Book Fair. The booths were this busy most of the day. Last weekend I had the good fortune to exhibit and sell books at the Sacramento Antiquarian Book Fair. And as such, it holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite book fairs. This time around, the promoter of the fair, Jim Kay of bookbomb.com.

Heavenly Monkey: September 2014

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...

Heavenly Monkey: A Secret Stack
http://heavenlymonkeybooks.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-secret-stack.html
Day late and a dollar short; here's what I got. Having trouble with the news feed for Decorating Paper. Just found out that a Web site. An aside for readers who followed the Agrippa. Post and project from earlier this year: the Paz/Motherwell project that Agrippa publisher Kevin Begos spoke about can be seen on the LEC site.). In 1999 can be found here. This is another good summary. Of the LEC's history. Publisher of elusive books. This blog is updated (almost) every Monday. Buy Harold Budd books.

Heavenly Monkey: October 2014

12 lbs In A 10-lb Bag. Got all the heavy gear into the new studio last week. Bit of a blur. Moving the Ostrander-Seymour isn't a lot of fun, not the least because it's expensive: takes four guys who know how to deal with heavy moves. In Vancouver the people to call are Salmon's. Last thing on is the bed. The new space is going to work out well, once I shed a few extraneous pieces of equipment. High ceiling, a big window. Not Open To The Public, so please don't ask. HM pondering what to do now. Will try t...

Decorating Paper at Codex. Sorry to be late this week, but I had to wait for the content. Before an update on Decorating Paper. However, an appeal: regular visitors will know that one of the musical engines driving HM, especially during long, tedious hours at the press, is loscil. He has just released an EP of three new compositions. For Greta is austere: the calm surface of very deep water. Exactly what HM's books aspire to be? I spent the past two weeks printing decorative borders on 1200 sheets. T...
