Print Bleeds
Printing Harold Budd's arabesques that appear randomly through Aurora Teardrops. There are eight in all, and six bleed off one, sometimes two edges, i.e. outside the text area on sheets. So I had to do these before setting the press up for printing the text - the lock-up and tympan will have to be changed in between. (I wanted to keep the deckles, so I couldn't trim sheets down after printing to achieve the bleed.) Fun to finally get this book in press!
AND ANOTHER THING
Excellent booksellers Vamp & Tramp have just released a new 50 under $100 catalogue, books by (mostly) book artists. I'm always amazed at the breadth and depth of work V&T carries, and their unceasing work to get books into the world.
