Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Limited Edition. Large octavo, 69pp., illustrated. From The Bucknell University Fine Editions: A Series in Contemporary Poetry, edited by Cynthia Hogue. A near fine copy in the publisher's abstract paste paper boards. Boards just a tinge warped in the same direction, and the spine a tinge cocked; else lovely. The colophon reads: "This book was hand-set in 14 pt. Spectrum monotype with titling in Open Kapitalen, both Van Krimpen types. Designed and set by Jason Urban and Juanita Bishop, this edition was printed by Barnard Taylor and Juanita Bishop in Rives lightweight mouldmade paper with a Vandercook No. 4 press. The wood engravings were printed directly from the blocks. Each book has been hand-bound by Don Rash in cloth and paper over boards using an original abstract paste paper." This is number 35 of 125 limited copies, each of which is SIGNED by Weaver and Richards on the colophon. A striking production. Laid-in is a letter from the previous owner to the publisher enclosing a check for his copy, and lamenting the then-imminent demise of the press.
