The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors Even. A Typographic version of the Marcel Duchamp's Green Box, by Richard Hamilton.
Plan de Paris par Arrondissement. A. Leconte, Editeur. A very friendly waiter at the old Wishbone on Grand lent me this book when he heard Shannon and I were thinking of taking a vacation in Paris. We never went, but he said it was OK to keep the maps. His name was Stephen, I think, and he and his girlfriend had lived there for two years.
Fragments of Ivan Brunetti. Ivan Brunetti, boxed set.
Book of Chops. Gift of Chris Ware, from his trip to China, for the second printing of his first book.
Miniature Bazaar Scales. A gift from my Mom.
Two Chinese "comic" books. From a streetside lending library in Xi'an, PRC.
Lamb to the Slaughter. Road Dahl.
The American Printer. A Manual of Typography. Published in 1876. A gift from John Upchurch. This is an astonishing book. There's all sorts of stuff in here, like the correct layout for the Hebrew Upper Case, a recipe for composition rollers (Glue, 2 lbs.; Molasses, 6 lbs.; Paris-white, 1/2 lb.), or how to Put Up an Adams Press.
