From a sketch at the dinner table last Wednesday night, to setting & printing on Thursday:
We like. Left the imprint & date off; made things too busy. Put those details instead in the colophon. We managed to push the edition up to 26 copies, so we press lettered them in a second color, using Unciala.
The editioning marked HM3's debut at the handpress; she operated the Pratt Albion while HM1 did the inking. Just like the old days.
Barbara reports the cover papers have been dyed & will be delivered later this week. Before then we'll sew the book up & set the ornaments & text for printing on the dyed cover papers. Copies ready next week?
