8vo., half cloth, decorated paper covered boards, 168 pages. Beginning in the 1950s, the American master of wood engraving, John DePol (1913-2004), cut small endgrain blocks featuring subjects from Nature, the Heavens, the Book Arts, and fantastical abstract/geometrical designs. Although many of these images were made into patte…rns and used as binding papers in a number of important fine-press books, the full breadth of this aspect of DePol's work appeared for the first time in the 2000 limited edition of this book; this aspect of DePols work is not included in the Book Club of Californias John DePol: A Catalogue Raisonné published in 2004. The images117 units with a pattern formed from each are reproduced in Endgrain Designs & Repetitions as originally conceived by DePol: in beautiful black and white. The book also includes an autobiographical sketch written by DePol, a short essay on the history of patterns in book publishing by myself, and the publication history of the patterns. From the author - Over the past few years, people have asked about a less-expensive edition of this book, and because of those inquiries and the interest in the 2014 DePol exhibit that I curated at the University of Michigan Library, Endgrain Designs & Repetitions is now available at an affordable price. Except for the color specimens that were included in the limited edition, this offset-printed book features the same text (with some updated information) and units and patterns, as well as a new Preface. half cloth, decorated paper covered boards. DePol, John (illustrator).

2000, XXV,332pp.+ plates. Cloth, with dust jacket. 1,4kg. In good condition. "Dard Hunter (1883-1966) began his career in the book arts as a craftsman and designer in the American Arts & Crafts Movement. In the first decades of the 20th century, Hunter's avant-garde designs were seen in the popular books and decorative arts prod…uced by Elbert Hubbard's Roycrofters. Despite the success of his modern designs, Hunter became intrigued by the ancient handcrafts of papermaking, typefounding, and letterpress printing. An anachronism among colleagues, Hunter remained true to his philosophy to make books by hand, striving for the highest craft standards. Dard Hunter was a unique blend of craftsman and scholar - a dichotomy he regarded as essential to the understanding and appreciation of the book arts. Hunter's legacy is manifest in the revival of hand papermaking in this country, and he remains an inspiration to all who are involved in the creation of handmade objects.".

hardcover, sewn. 10 x 7 inches. hardcover, sewn. 672 pages. From Jikji to Gutenberg: The Origins of Book Printing from Moveable Metal Type represents a preliminary investigation into the birth of metal type and the first books printed from it in both the Eastern and the Western hemispheres. Whether the page you are reading is in…k on paper or pixels on a screen, the global origins that led to these technological communications have impacted us all. When asked who was first book printer, people in the West usually answer Johannes Gutenberg, who printed the Gutenberg Bible in Mainz, Germany, in about 1454/55. And while his beautiful 42-line Bible is an incredible masterwork and a milestone among Western achievements, most grade-school children in South Korea can tell you that the Buddhist text, commonly referred to as Jikji, was printed from moveable metal type by monks in July 1377! (Jikji, short for Baegun hwasang chorok buljo jikji simche yojeol [Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests Zen Teachings], was printed in the Heungdeok-sa temple in Cheongju. In 2001, in recognition of this technological achievement, UNESCO inscribed both Jikji (the oldest extant East Asian book printed with metal type) and Gutenberg's 42-line Bible on its Memory of the World International Register. In order to tell the origin story of these books, in 2020, the From Jikji to Gutenberg Project was formed, and after six years of discussion and collaboration, the 33 essays in this book by a group of international scholars are offered as an introductory assessment of the surviving evidence surrounding humanity's shared aspiration to print and publish books. The book is edited by Randy Silverman, Head of Preservation, J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah, and Cathleen A. Baker, retired University of Michigan Library Paper and Book Conservator, scholar/author and book-arts practitioner, as well as proprietor of The Legacy Press. Silverman was instrumental in securing funding to support the work of the Project, which in addition to this book, as the 650th anniversary of the publication of Jikji approaches, will include an online exhibit designed to summarize the Projects scholarship for a broad, nontechnical audience, as well as an illustrated childrens book to encourage young readers to experience new and fantastic worlds, and to introduce them to the joys of scholarly investigation and craft practices.
