Found at a local thrift shop today, a copy of the facsimile page from the Gutenberg Bible that Jim Rimmer printed. It was commissioned by (if memory serves) Metropolitan Printers, and given out to clients at Christmas c.2000. The page (which measures about 12 x 18 inches) was presented in an elaborate printed portfolio and caused such a stir that one colleague reported people from the IT department storming the Marketing gang in an attempt to purloin the one copy received. The page was printed on Somerset. Jim told us the story of printing the piece once - there was some snafu along the way, might have been with the gold stamping - but can't remember now. The stated edition is 1650 copies, but again Jim said something about that - might not be quite that many out there.
