"When I inaugurated Ninja Press in 1984 it never occurred to me that it would lead to the kind of investigative bookmaking that has become a steadfast companion in my approach to book design." "The Real World of Manuel Córdova is a long, single poem by W.S. Merwin consisting of forty-three fourteen-line stanzas. Upon reading it for the first time I knew I wanted to spend deep time working on it. The poem evokes the very essence of the mythological journey; of going for and coming back changed. It is an arduous journey, both through time and through terrain. The poem also describes an interior journey into the dream world. I flooded myself with information because what poetry does not impart is information. Poetry is a door to the ineffable. My job, however, was to make a container to hold that ineffability." The Real World of Manuel Córdova is an iconic example of the contemporary book as a work of art. In the essay Chasing the Ideal Book Carolee Campbell reveals her methodical and brilliant approach to investigative book making.…

First Edition. First Edition. Russell Maret [printer, designer, and afterword]; Nina Schneider [bibliographic descriptions]; Carolee Campbell [commentary]; Harry Reese [foreword]; Annie Schlechter [photography]. One of the 77 numbered copies that includes tip-ins of original material. A lovely catalogue raisonné of the work of Carolee Campbell and the Ninja Press. Russell Maret writes of her: "It takes a special kind of person to know that what one is working on is not ready to be discussed. It takes someone.who unhurriedly allows her books to germinate in her lizard brain until they are ready to be dispatched into the world. With each new book Carolee teaches the rest of us how it should be done - not how to make books like hers , but like her, to make books the way the books want to be made." The heavily annotated bibliography includes books, broadsides, commissions and collaborations, ephemera, reviews, criticism, and writing. The annotations include comments by Carolee on the making of each book or broadside. "Imagine this movie: A self-possessed teenager in Los Angeles, brought up by a grandmother because of her mother's infirmities and her father's alcoholism, flees to New York City after high school to pursue a dream. Working first as a hatcheck girl in a famous nightclub, and then waiting tables in Mafia restaurants, she reinvents her life from the inside-out in classes taught by elite drama teachers and is offered a bit part on daytime television. Avoiding temptation and putting everything at risk again, she evolves into a television star and eventually a soap opera queen. Meanwhile, she exhibits photographs in New York galleries, practices Japanese martial arts, and competes with her team in Japan. She wins an Emmy for a dramatic role, but abruptly quits acting, returns to California, and takes up whitewater rafting in the Southwest. Nearly fifty, she turns her back on every success she ever knew to start all over again as an entry-level art student in a program she has to explain. Twenty years later, she gains recognition as one of the most accomplished, distinctive, and influential printer-publishers of her generation." [foreword].

In original clamshell box of black Japanese handmade paper assembled by Judi Conant, title embossed on upper cover. With color wood block embellishments throughout, in shades of gray, rust, gold, blue, purple, and black. Printed on handcrafted dove-gray abaca paper made for this edition by Katie MacGregor & Bernie Vinzani. With prospectus and signed typewritten letter from Carolee Campbell to original purchaser Hugh McMillan, Jr., laid in. As new. This is one of the most complex and impressive works issued by the one-woman Ninja Press: it was letter-press printed on specially commissioned handmade paper, illustrated with wood block compositions of increasingly complex design, and bound, most unusually, in brass--all by bookmaker and press founder Carolee Campbell. An Emmy Award-winning actress, Campbell (b. 1936) came to bookmaking by a circuitous route. Her interest in photography and particularly in 19th- and 20th-century photographic processes came first. As she perfected her skills, she began to produce various photographic series on different themes, work that she felt would be best experienced in the form of a book. Wanting to have creative control over the presentation of that work, Campbell undertook to learn how to bind her own books, and so began exploring experimental book structures. She then expanded into letterpress printing and book design. Once equipped to manage all steps of the bookmaking process, she inaugurated the Ninja Press--named for her beloved black cat--in 1984. As sole proprietor, she is responsible for all aspects of book production, from selecting texts (almost all contemporary poetry), to designing the layout, printing the text, creating illustrations and adornments, and binding the book. Consequently, Ninja Press books are issued in strictly limited runs, and require months and months of work on a single title. In the enclosed letter to press patron Hugh McMillan, Jr., Campbell speaks of her inspiration for the unusual binding, which forsakes traditional bookbinding materials "in favor of brass, stainless steel, and high tack adhesive tape." She says that the seven prose poems by Nathaniel Tarn that make up the text here are what she characterizes "as post-apocalyptic--hauntingly musical and very contemporary. Thus, [her] choice for the binding style; a kind of phoenix out of the ashes." The gray paper and simple but impactful illustrations also complement the post-apocalyptic mood of the text. Framed as a series of questions, the seven prose-poems are the first in a series of 70 "Architextures" composed between 1988 and 1994 by French-American poet Nathaniel Tarn (1928-2024). Trained as an anthropologist, he did field work in Guatemala and Burma and taught at the London School of Economics and London University before leaving anthropology in 1967. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1970, teaching languages and literature at Princeton and Rutgers University while pursuing his passion for poetry. Encouraged by literary prizes and foundation fellowships, he left teaching in 1984 to write. This sequence of poems draws on his anthropological background, examining human behavior and culture while seeking an answer to the question, "Who are we that fled the thousand lives we did not lead in order to escape the very one life that we were destined for?" Ninja Press books are avidly collected by connoisseurs and institutions; among the latter are the Special Collections at the British Library, Stanford University, the Getty Research Institute, and the University of California, Santa Barbara, where the press archives are also held. We could trace no copies of "Architextures" in auction records or currently offered on line. No. 29 OF 65 COPIES, SIGNED by Tarn and by bookmaker Carolee Campbell. Signed.…
