and inventory of a show into becoming its own, autonomous work of art."

 17. (Laura Davidson) Florence. Artist’s tunnel book by Laura Davidson.

Guides and Baedeker’s travel guide pages published in the 1920s. Images

This charming tunnel book shows a view of the city of Florence from the steps of
the church of San Miniato al Monte. It is the first in a series of books that incorpo-
rates old travel guidebooks and maps. Tunnel books date back to early peep show
boxes from the 1600s. They held cutout cardboard panels to create many religious,
historical and mythical scenes. Davidson writes that she chose this format to repro-
duce an effect of real distance and space. "I have been buying old travel guidebooks
about Italy since I first visited there nearly 20 years ago. In these books I have found
handwritten itineraries, postage stamps, ticket stubs and restaurant receipts. They

culture." - Davidson.

industrial neighborhood. Its inhabitants are mainly artists who use the loft

No. 1: schwarz. 40p. 6.25" x 6.25". Printed black onto black kraftpaper, with black card boards with title and wood
engraving.
Text passage from Konrad Bayers “Der Kopf des Vitus Bering” dealing with the question 'where is the world (our
planet) situated’. A wood engraving from the 19th century (showing a round piece of an old machine) is printed on
every page, rotated by 30 degrees from page to page. So the tool becomes a rotating planet. It is orbited by the typog-
raphy in opposite direction.
No. 2: rot. Tatjana Tolstaja, "Saßen auf goldenen Stufen..." 4p. 9.5" x 6.25". Printed red onto red kraftpaper. Red deco-
rated and titled paper board covers. The collage illustrations (running over all pages) are made up of pictures from

Russia.

of leaves. Original leaves of four different trees (maple, ash, beech, oak) were used. They are printed green onto green
kraft paper.Green printed paper over board with title and leaf illustrations all in green.
No. 4: gelb, isch. 48p. 13" x 9". . Printed yellow onto yellow kraft paper. Thin card covers with title and thick yellow
line across card. The volume takes rhymes with the ending »isch« out of a German rhyming dictionary (Willy Steputat,
Deutsches Reimlexikon, Leipzig 1896) and set it in relation to colored spaces printed with linocuts. Cut-out sheets add
to the complexity of the design.
No. 5: blau - Eduard Mörike, Die Historie von der schönen Lau. 60p. With 17 illustrations. 9.75" x 7.125". Underwater
photographs by Malutzki. Printed blue onto blue kraft paper; with shaded blue paper boards, title on front and spine.
Bound by Ines v. Ketelhodt. Mörike is one of Germany’s greatest lyric poets of the 19th century. His story tells about
a waternymph (the beautiful Lau) who could not get pregnant because she never laughed. Once she had laughed five
times, then she would become pregnant.
No. 6; weiß. [Poems by] Rafael Alberti, Blanco/Weiß. 76p. 6.875" x 9.5". Printed white onto white waxpaper. Title in
white on translucent wax paper over thin board. 33
poems about the color white (from the cycle ‘A la pintu-
ra’) in the Spanish original with a German translation.
The translucence of the paper allows the next page to be
viewed as though in shadow.
This series of six monochrome books by Peter Malutzki
follows (concerning the chosen colors) the theory of col-
ors by Goethe who takes green also as a primary color
like red, yellow, and blue. They are put between the black
and white books.
A wonderful typographic feat! Peter Malutzki can do
impeccable letterpress printing on any kind of paper!

ty to the sense of the original German, is a central focus. Fifteen of the poems are drawn from the Sonnets to Orpheus, written toward
the end of Rilke’s lifework. Accompanying them is the narrative poem Orpheus, Eurydice, Hermes from an earlier life period. The
sonnets and narrative connect in spirit with one another, affording greater illumination and depth of feeling to each.
The connection between sonnet and narrative is further enhanced by the book’s physical format and imagery. Below is the dark wine-
colored landscape of the Underworld where Eurydice is "already root", even as Orpheus attempts to lead her back into life. The path
they and her escort, Hermes, follow through the Underworld bears the legend of their journey. Floating like clouds above this land-
scape are the sonnets addressed to Orpheus, inhabitant of the "dual kingdoms" of life and death. A panoramic view of the total land-
scape is afforded by book pages which can be either opened out or turned. " - Holburd Heidenheimer. A wonderful translation of
Rilke’s great poetry.

This book is a journal Hoffman "began one winter when [she]
walked daily on an uninhabited island in the middle of the Nashua
River. [Her] mother, a well-known anthropologist, was fighting
cancer that year and [she] began to add the intertwining nature of
our lives into the journal. In particular, [she] moved from [her]
island on the Nashua River to the Trobri and Islands in Papua, New
Guinea where [she lived with her [mother] while she was doing
fieldwork."
Linda Hoffman’s mother started her academic career late in life;
she taught at several universities, advancing her positions con-
stantly until her became the Dean of the Graduate School of Arts
and Science at New York University. Here she held the David B.
Kriser Distinguished Professorship in Anthropology from 1984
until her death in 1997. Her publications were many, as were her
honors, including receiving the American Anthropological
Association’s distinguished Service Award.
Not only are the images very beautiful, but the text is simple and
straightforward, moving as only good prose or poetry can be, in
this wonderful journey of tribute to an outstanding woman and
scholar - Hoffman’s mother.

Paul Johnson, the British artist, writer, researcher and book artist trav-
els around the world dividing his time between researching the book
arts in education, running the Book Art Project in England and pro-
ducing his own work. His published work includes: A Book of One's
Own, 1993; Pop-up Paper Engineering, 1992; Literacy Through the Book
Arts, 1993; and Books Searching for Authors, 1994. [See Paul Johnson's
article, The movable, three-dimensional, multi-experimental Book, in The
New Bookbinder, Vol. 16, 1996.]
His personal work embraces the areas of paper sculpture, paper envi-
ronments, books and paper furniture. He has exhibited at major one-
man and group exhibitions of work in paper in England, Europe and
Japan. He was elected to the Crafts Council index of selected makers in
1989 and in the same year profiled on BBC TV's 'Handmade' series on
British Crafts. Johnson's work is in public and private collections inter- Item No. 40.
nationally.
Johnson thinks of his books as 'interior architecture' - because they can be opened up and experienced as three-dimensional forms.
He feels that paper is by far the most versatile of all art materials. His use of a brilliant and glowing color palette makes his work a
visual treat.

Item No. 47. "The background is composed of 20 photographs of kissing scenes out of Hollywood films, taken from
a television screen. Their arrangement in the form of a concertina is suggestive of a film strip. Guiseppe
Tornatore’s film Cinema Paradiso provided the inspiration. The idea for the slipcase with lid
came from Brancusi’s sculpture The Kiss. "The Mayröcker text and the quote from Goethe’s
Faust are mounted in opposite directions, each beginning at the opposite ends of the book; i.e.
each text begins where the other one ends. To read Goethe’s text the book should be held hor-
izontally.” - Ines v. Ketelhodt.

Bob Baris and his Press on Scroll Road

We are pleased to introduce the fine printing work of Bob Baris for the first time on these

tiful texts to print, well away from the hurley-burley of city life. Several fine examples of
his printing are offered below.

"The essays are a conversation between friends, between reader and author, the former silent but engaged, the latter
a storyteller and thinker of charm and intelligence. Tellen disarms with his cracker barrel wit and simplicity, and then
slips in a metaphysical speculation that leaves you gasping to keep up. ...
"Thinking Like a Prairie is a model of what a fine press book should be: a marriage of form and content, style and thought. ... There
are many finely made press books, but few so completely unself-conscious and comfortable in itself as this Bob Baris production. ...
In the context of the spirit and words of the text, Thinking Like a Prairie as a book is just right." - Parenthesis 7.

Polaroid images taken in 1998 show various close-ups of one of the 14 Middletowns in the USA. (It happens

abandoned factories, and gutted cars could be anywhere.
Slipped out of the sleeve the book opens in many different directions, so that unfolded to 18" x 36" on a flat
surface it takes the shape of a town’s geography with its blocks and dead-ends.

No. 5: Evolution (including Introduction.) June 2000. Tells the story of the early Greek con-
vention of ‘aural reading’ from papyrus rolls, through the Dark Ages and the monastic
traditions. The ‘invention’ of the Carolingian manuscript style and the rise of secular,
silent reading practices in the early Renaissance.
No. 6: Revolution. Presents the Gutenberg Bible as the beginning not just of a new tech-
nological age but as the start of the compromise work practices that mass production
activities encourage.
No. 7 discusses the fits and starts of the book trade and the drive for rationalization of
techniques at the expense of the creative potentials of authorship throughout the 20th
century. The value of Stanley Morison’s & Beatrice Warde’s sobering influence is exam-
ined and questioned. No. 8: Re-evaluation. Weighs the benefits to text and reader of an
individual and creative approach to book design, typography and illustration against
the losses inflicted by mass production principles.
