Man Booker, late sheets.


The sheets (text block folded but not cut or sewn) did not arrive until Friday afternoon, about 3 days late. During the time I Read the reading copy twice and started on the end papers. First some lino cuts.



Then the first pulls, which I thought were ok, getting the effect I wanted first time is a bit of a rare thing for me.




Next came a wire coat hanger, changing from a hanger to a noose.


Final prints for the end papers.


At last I could sew up the text block. The grain direction is all wrong, the paper is the same quality as in a paper back and the margins so narrow that there is no balance...  However, we press on.
