Añadir al carritoFirst Edition. First edition. The Center for Book Art's innovative 30th-anniversary publication. Number 3 of 75 copies SIGNED BY BRINGHURST (poet), HENRY (printer), KYLE (designer), and RICHARD MINSKY, The Center's founder and the project's coordinator. THIS COPY ADDITIONALLY INSCRIBED BY BRINGHURST, "for Allen Mears,/ who may a…ppreciate/ more than most not only/ the poetry but also/ Barbara's and Hedi's/ magnificent engineering." Four 4to volumes bound in heavy cardstock -- three with Bringhurst's polyphonic poetry meant to be read by 3 people at once; and the last with Bringhurst's afterword describing the evolution of both poem and project, the subscribers list (Mear's name is 3rd on the list), and the colophon leaf. HOUSED IN ORIGINAL BOX WHICH WAS AVAILABLE TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. Box measures approximately 17.25 x 17.25 x 4" and holds the elaborately constructed fold-out lecterns -- one for each book. As Bringhurst characterized the overall structure, this is "a wonderfully complex piece of biblio-engineering made to behave as if it were simple." TOGETHER WITH the original prospectus, various pre-publication announcements, and extensive correspondence (in the form of printed emails and typed, signed letters) between collector Allen Mears, Bringhurst and The Center, INCLUDING A SIX-PAGE TYPED LETTER SIGNED BY BRINGHURST discussing the genesis of the project, his hopes for it, a 2004 performance of the poem, etc., with a copy of his 2-page design notes with drawings "submitted to Hedi Kyle and Richard Minsky a couple of years ago." Altogether fine. Signed.
