19923146Paris: Bibliotheque nationale de France 1992. First Edition. Very good. 5 vols. 4to. Original wrappers spines of Fasc. "H-L" and "M-O" a little faded with unimportant wear along joints. "Additions et Corrections" 16 ff. ca. 250 entries stapled as issued. WITH: 2 ff. half-title and title-page for Tome II loose as issued. NOT ex-library! The extraordinary almost heroic catalogue of incunabula in the BnF CIBN exhaustively describes ca. 8000 titles/editions many of which are unique. As Bernard "Barney" Rosenthal notes in his critical review of the methodology of CIBN notes "the sheer mass of incunabula described the astonishing listing of multiple copies with their provenances and minor variants the generous doses of well documented information concerning textual contents the citation of a wide range of scholarly literature beyond the purely bibliographical works and journals the promptness with which new data are incorporated in the descriptions the almost fanatical but unevenly applied devotion to the listing of works under their true aluthors even when this means going counter to established traditions." PBSA 80:3 1986 pp. 381-386 of which an offprint is included in our copy bearing a "heartfelt" presentation inscription on the front wrapper. <br/><br/>The editors of Tome II intentionally skipped entries "A-G" which had already been undertaken by Pellechet and Polain "Catalogue general des incunables des bibliotheques publique de France" 3 vols. 1897-1909. The editors then began recataloguing entries "A-G" and in 1992 released in a single volume all the entries beginning with the letter "A" and all the blockbooks "xylographes" present in our copy. Of Tome I two more fascicles have been issued: Fasc. 2 "B" in 1996 and Fasc. 3 "C-D" in 2006 both available from the BnF directly.<br/><br/>¶ From the famed Bibliotheca Bibliographica Breslaueriana sale at Christies NY 2005 lot 1255.

As new at the published price. Electric Tulips 5.1 was conceived as a dialogue between an imaginary literary critic Gallo and the poet Gallo and revolves around the writing and presentation of his poem Electric Tulips 5.1. The essay which results Future Preterite by the esteemed critic Alessandro S. Stompanado is intended to emulate that of the essay by James Joyce written under the pseudonym Vladimir Dixon; and which appeared in the Sylvia Beach publication of 1929: Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress in which Joyce writes an appreciation of his own novel Ulysses. As such the book is a multi-layered pastiche of both literary and typographic treatments along with a magnificent double gatefold presentation of the poem in eight colors each of the seven stanzas in a separate color and the seminal tulip in an eighth; the type all set by hand and printed letterpress and polymer from Permanent Headline Open from the now defunct foundry Ludwig & Mayer. <br/><br/> privately printed unknown books

201655799Minneapolis & Saint Paul: Hermetic Press 2016. The complete series in 3 volumes edition limited to 30 copies 8vo pp. 18; 18; 56; illustrated throughout; original cream printed wrappers. Fine. On Typographica Broodthaers excerpta: "This book started out as an installation but devolved into conceptual art and lay dormant until now. But my first idea was to set it in a kind of poison pen letter fashion and as I had a complete run of Eurostile Extended-which I felt quite suited to it-I went ahead and printed it on a half sheet of Strathmore. It was not long before I decided that the copy was irrelevant-that the idea was simply an idea-or more to the point-joke-that the piece did not need to be produced and that a written description would suffice: The idea of the thing being better than the thing itself. I still have the press and the type still standing after 25 years and for the book I reprinted the form photographed the original drawing and sheet of Strathmore; along with the press and the type piled up and into it. On Word Bags: "Graffiti on a bank building. A suite of seven cibachromes showing individually the letters of the word PROTEST. Building maintenance went over the letters with lacquer thinner and then covered the entire word in clear plastic to protect passers-by. The red spray paint spread and ran down the side of the building imparting a blood & tear-like aspect to the letterforms under the billowing shroud of plastic. Hence body bag viz. word bags. On Palabra Found poems in lowercase Peignot - by way of its modified ascenders and dotted i - if handled as a unicameral may be seen as a democratization of type; or as a kind of gentrified graffiti. <br/><br/> Hermetic Press unknown books
