16688Stockholm WI: Midnight Paper Sales nd. A gorgeous book with an original technique of printing the images: all of them are printed directly from slices of the actual trees discussed in the book in a variation on the traditional technique of nature printing where the object itself is used to print. Schanilec has made use of this idea in a number of his projects. The multi-color prints are produced by a reduction cutting process: "after each color is printed the block is cleaned with mineral spirits the surface is cut away further and the block is printed again in a different color. . . . on close inspection some of the features may not match up exactly since they represent a deeper plane in the wood." <i>Sylvae</i> page 18. All of the trees featured in the book grew on Schanilec's farm in Wisconsin. Some fell due to natural causes others had to be removed for logistical reasons some were cut down for their wood for flooring and other construction projects. The nature of the grain of each piece prompted the specific techniques used to print the image. Many of the multi-colored prints are at least two full pages quite a few are massive three-page spreads. The grain patterns of the wood express the beauty of the trees. Each section of the book deals with one tree including one or more prints and a detailed discussion of the function of the tree on the farm sometimes tidbits of local history how it came to be cut down its properties and details about the specific characteristics of each piece of wood and how these affected the print-making process. The book concludes with an over sized wood cut of a large tree cut down on Schanilec's farm--the wood engraving of the tree was carved from the wood of the tree. It's beautiful but there are mixed feelings about realizing that the tree is preserved for the future through the use of its own wood for the engraving. But then that is true for all of the images in the book! There is a great respect for nature and the conservation of trees throughout this book. It is a wonderful production! The binding of the book continues the wood theme: the spine of the book is white pigskin and the sides are cut from another tree on Schanilec's farm and have been finished like a beautiful piece of furniture. The book was printed by Schanilec and Verhoeven the Bixlers cast the type Craig Jensen and Gary McLerran bound the books and Dick Sorenson did the woodwork. Housed in a deep blue fabric covered slipcase. Number 6 of 120 copies. Signed by both Schanilec and Verhoeven. A laid in notice announced that the book won the 2007 Gregynog Prize at the Oxford Book Fair. <i>Quarter to Midnight</i> A.261.b and A.262 <i>Matrix 27</i>. Schanilec considers this book to be "a far better book" than the special edition of 26 copies of the same title with a different setting of the type. Fine. Midnight Paper Sales hardcover books
