Item description from seller

Softcover. Number 32 of about 100 copies signed and numbered by the author/printer. Graham Moss, the proprietor, printer, and binder at Incline Press writes: "Reclaiming the tradition of chapbooks. I try to avoid publishing my own writing as much as possible; introduction matter and occasional editorial work aside, a simple colophon usually fills my desire for writing: quiet, precise, and broadly anonymous. But versions and variations of this poem have been shunted around in my head these past two or more years, only taking this shape during the wintery months at the beginning of 2023. In lieu of anywhere else to publish it, Incline Press fills the gap! Printed on an off-cut of handmade paper it can be cheap enough to be properly called a chapbook, even though it will not see the inside of a chapman's pack. Rather than avoiding that term, which is getting a bit pretentious of late for my taste, let us at least reclaim the chapbook for the lowest sort of price that letterpress printing can accomplish, even though this is some of the best paper that can be got for ready money!" Printed on Wookey Hole Paper, probably intended as ledger paper from the 1930s. Uncial type used for the titling is Solemnis, designed in 1954 from the Berthold type foundry. The text is set in Lectura type from the Stephenson Blake foundry. The book is hand sewn into stiff gray paper wraps. In fine condition. Measures 5.25 x 7.25 inches. Unpaginated [8 pages plus colophon]. PRI/050423.…
