10427Berkeley CA: Editions Koch 2003. Full Leather. Fine binding. Folio. 44 pp. frontis plates. Limited edition one of 120 copies this copy out of series; there are also 26 lettered deluxe copies with a suite of 10 engravings. All are signed by Bringhurst Wagener and Peter Koch at the colophon. Bound by Camille Botelho in black box calf with inlays and onlays of dyed calf vinyl snakeskin painted paper mylar laminates and a porcupine quill; hand embroidered endbands; vinyl snakeskin doublures. A fine copy in clamshell box. <br /> <br /> True to form Peter Koch has produced a marvelous edition of what remains of Parmenides's poem "On Nature." The fragments of the poem are rendered in this opposite page bilingual edition with the Greek on the left and Bringhurst's English translation on the right. The poetry is brilliantly accompanied by Wagner's striking engravings a frontispiece and 4 additional wood engravings in red and orange. <br /> <br /> Given it survives only in fragments there is some debate as to the "meaning" of the symbolism of Parmenides's poem making it a work ripe for interpretation. But at base his view of reality is one of stasis unchangeable. And while that enduring Greek logic marks the work Wagener introduces remarkably abstract and kinetic illustrations printed in an urgent deep red and orange—projecting anything but stasis. It is the discord between the logical understanding or reality and the emotional understanding of it that spoke to Botelho and informed her design of this incredible binding. She writes: "In the design I thought of Parmenides looking out past shadowy arches from within a dark room to find total chaos beyond. The curve of the Mylar inlay and the curve of the porcupine quill mimic a column marking a threshold beyond which is uncontrolled noise and movement and mess. I wanted the disparity between the smoothness of the box calf and the chaos of the inlays and yellow foiling to be a comment on how frightening examining one's reality can be." Magnificently achieved Botelho has created an exceptional binding that bridges Parmenides and Wagener giving voice to the paradox she sees in this metaphysical conversation on the nature of reality.

Out of options she reluctantly accepts her father's offer to help refurbish Birdsong the old family place he recently inherited in Guthrie Georgia. All it will take he tells her is a little paint and some TLC to turn the fading Victorian mansion into a real-estate cash cow. But when she arrives Dempsey realizes that "Bird Droppings" would more aptly describe the moldering Pepto Bismol-pink dump with duct-taped windows and a driveway full of junk. There's also a murderously grumpy old lady one of Dempsey's distant relations who has claimed squatter's rights and isn't moving out. Ever. Everyone in Guthrie seems to know Dempsey's business from a smooth-talking real-estate agent to a cute lawyer who owns the local paper. As if that's not bad enough pesky FBI agents keep showing up on her doorstep looking for information about her ex-boss. All Dempsey can do is roll up her sleeves and get to work. Before long what started as a job of necessity somehow becomes a labor of love and ultimately a journey that takes her to a place she never expected-back home. --Source: Publisher ; Mary Kay Andrews was born Kathy Hogan Trocheck on July 27 1954 in St. Petersburg Florida.

196110424San Francisco: Grabhorn Press 1961. Folio. 4 46 2 blank pp. illus. Limited edition one of 180 copies. This copy bound by Katy Starr-Baum in full black calf with inlays of sanded aluminum and pained paper as well as onlays of buffalo watersnake and stone veneer all arranged in a coronal design from front board to rear; graphite top edge with sprinkled palladium; handsewn silk endbands; hand-painted endpapers echo the cover design. Housed in clamshell box. <br /> <br /> A beautiful and fitting binding on one of the Grabhorn Shakespeare series with colored woodblock illustrations by Mary Grabhorn. A bold design using material that speaks to the time—stone and metal. The hand-painted endpapers evoke the night sky and have an iridescence that is dynamic when one opens the cover the light catching the paint shifts as the board moves. While boldly monochromatic what color there is in the binding the leather onlays and the painted paper picks up the pastels of Grabhorn's illustrations. The coronal design speaks to the backdrop of this play Henry IV holding onto power amidst treachery and Prince Hal's coming into the crown. But as Starr-Baum notes the design has a more potent deeper meaning: "the circular shape … represents familial cycles: the traits and behaviors that are passed down from one generation to the next and the transformation of Prince Hal into King Henry." A powerful binding by one of the most recent recipients of the Fine Binding Diploma of the elite American Academy of Bookbinding. Grabhorn Press unknown
