200937612Nacogdoches TX: LaNana Creek Press 2009. Hardcover. Fine. Hardcover. Limited edition but no limitation information available. No copies found in commerce in WorldCat or in Rare Book Hub. This is a striking and compelling production of the famous Knight's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer. It is beautifully printed and bound. A note from the press states that "the narration of this tale works by condensing actions and their effects into powerful symbols and figurative images. It is therefore a work that lends itself to illustration. The Knight's Tale has in fact been illustrated many times but never so thoroughly as in the current edition. Moreover past illustrators have tended to romanticize or sentimentalize the story eschewing its most violent and disturbing images."<br /> <br /> The book was printed at the Press when it was part of the College of Fine Arts at Stephen F. Austin University. The Press was part of the Stephen F. Austin St. University College of Fine Arts until December of 2019. Since then the press has become part of the Crazy Creek Studios and ceased any connection to SFA. Printed from photopolymer plates. Designed and printed by Jones and Terri Goggans. Printed in Goudy Thirty and Gill Sans type on Hahnemühle Gutenberg paper. Text is printed in black with red shoulder notes. The book is accompanied by a recording of the text by Marc Guidry on a disc in a pocket on the front pastedown. Bound in dark red cloth with a burgundy leather spine with gilt titling to spine. There is a small black and red image of one of the book's illustrations on the cover. Housed in a gray cloth slipcase with a circular hole in the front cover to reveal the cover illustration. In fine condition. Measures 9.75 x 13.75 inches. Unpaginated about 100 pages PRI/111424. LaNana Creek Press hardcover

2611Homemade Book Knight's Tale--Part One from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales<br /> <br /> Apparent homemade book with green paper over thin board. Front pastedown has become unglued. Book measures 9 3/16 x 6 inches with 24 unnumbered pages. Light soiling and edgewear; interior clean. Very good condition.<br /> <br /> Entirely charming and beautiful student-made book apparently created by a student at the Rhode Island School of Design as noted in manuscript on first endpaper along with "Roberta Alpern Nov. 2". <br /> <br /> The small book is the telling of Part One of the Knight's Tale from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales completed in a fine calligraphic hand with rubricated initials and three decently executed plates. <br /> <br /> Likely a student assignment we have been unsuccessful in definitively tracking Roberta Alpern. Possibly dates to the 30's or 40's. Regardless a wonderful example of a finely executed homemade book. unknown
