Each book has an individual voice.
A beautifully example of the printers art and craft.

A simple binding treatment reflecting the flight path of the Mayfly hand tooled in ink (not as easy as it sounds). The end papers and doublers (doublures) the swarm of courtship over water.

My biblionautic chums and friends, I had planned a summer exhibition. However, as with nearly all things this has been put on hold. But have no fear, if you cannot come to the exhibition.. the exhibition comes to you. Featuring work from my personal collection and new works. Further live posts will be at 11.00 hrs BST, everyday, give or take. Please forgive the one or two blips and the odd shake! Please note, if there are days missing in your group it is because I only post to groups that I feel may find the post of interest or keep in line with the ethos or criteria of the group. For example this Studio 5 going live has not been shared with the 'Ring Road Truckers' as there are no trucks, truckers or indeed ring roads featured.
