Golden Sheets



Got a bunch of pages from a broken copy of the Kelmscott Press' Golden Legend, enough (50) to publish some kind of leaf book. Question is what text to put with it, especially since Neil Shaver already did a (beautiful) publication about the Golden Legend, with a leaf. We'll think of something. Have to finish our other promised leaf book first, George Wither's 1635 book of emblems. That one hopefully will hit the press this fall.


The poor copy these sheets came from seems to have never even been read before it lost its spine - some of the sheets are uncut at the head. You can see the register-pin holes at the folds (book was printed in quarto).


Not much actual news to report from Aurora Teardrops, other than printing proceeds on schedule.
