"Making the Renaissance Manuscript examines the making of the handwritten and hand-illuminated book during a time of great political, religious, and technological transformation in Europe. Through approximately forty loans from eight regional institutions, as well another forty items from Penn's own collections, this catalogue examines the full intellectual and artistic depth of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries through a varied selection of extraordinary manuscirpts, cuttings and incunables, from the Philadelphia region." -- front cover flap

"'Borderbus' takes place on a U.S. Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) bus. Two women, detained while trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, are being transported to a detention center. They whisper in English and Spanish to avoid the attention of the guard. This USB drive contains two versions of the poem. The first is a reading in two voices by Marisol Baca and Gabriela D. Encinas, directed by Juan Felipe Herrera and recorded by Curtis Messer. The second is a recording of Herrera reading 'Borderbus.'"--Colophon.

"In 2008, the University of Pennsylvania received as a gift the contents of the Gotham Book Mart, the legendary New York City bookstore founded by Frances Steloff in 1920. For decades the Gotham Book Mart was, as Steloff prosaically put it, 'the headquarters of the avant-garde.' To mark the 100th anniversary of the store's founding, this exhibition catalogue explores the shop's role in assembling, publishing, and promoting groundbreaking experimental writers as well as its later years under the ownership of Steloff's hand-chosen succesor, Andreas Brown" -- cover.

"Josef Halfer practiced and taught marbling roughly three centuries after the craft had appeared in Europe, at a time when paper marbling was in decline and being replaced by mechanically-produced substitutes. However, his innovations coincided with recent advances in chemistry, biochemistry and bacteriology, and he was able to apply those recent advances to solving problems that had long inhibited progress in the marbling art. The techniques that Halfer pioneered enabled marblers to take the craft to new artistic levels, allowing more detailed patterns to be achieved than ever before, and resulting in the most delicate, intricate and beautiful forms that the medium is capable of producing. Richard Wolfe had previously written about Halfer in his Marbled Paper: Its History, Techniques, and Patterns. (republished by Oak Knoll with corrections in 2018). In this book, Wolfe examines in more detail the contributions of one of the most important figures in the history of paper marbling, and he provides English translations of several of Halfer's "little texts." The author had written a draft of the Historical Introduction and roughly translated a number of Halfer's pamphlets on marbling before he died in October 2017. Sidney Berger agreed to take on the role of editor to help finalize the introduction and put the translations in publishable form. His efforts and the support of the Wolfe family have enabled Oak Knoll to bring Richard Wolfe's last major project to its intended readers."--Publisher's web page.

"Il Manuale Tipografico IV intende onorare il libro nei suoi aspetti materiali e spirituali, descrivendo e mostrando dal vero secoli di civiltà tipografica e cartaria, con reperti originali di filigrane dal 1700 al 1900 (e più antiche negli esemplari deluxe) e l'utilizzo, negli esempi a stampa, dei caratteri originali fusi dal XVIII al XX secolo. Il Manuale mette in luce il talento di incisori, fonditori e stampatori, capaci di preservare, attraverso tanti delicati passaggi, le forme più vicine agli ideali di bellezza che, nel corso dei secoli, hanno ispirato i grandi creatori di caratteri. A duecento anni dal Manuale Tipografico di Giambattista Bodoni, l'Editore Tallone pubblica un volume 'sinestetico', di 208 pagine composte a mano, dove ogni aspetto trattato è suffragato da esempi impressi e dagli inserti originali cuciti nel volume."--Publisher's website (viewed 2018 December 11).

"Since 1994, Oak Knoll Fest has been a destination for printers, scholars, collectors, librarians, and booksellers to congregate in historic New Castle, Delaware. What began as a yearly venture during the first weekend of October, Oak Knoll Fest eventually became a biennial event in 2010. Each Fest has has a theme: 2010 was on "The Importance of Artists' Books," 2012 was "Fine Press Books in the 21st Century," 2014 was "Buying and Selling Fine Press Books," and 2016 was "Text and Inspiration for Fine Press Titles." this year's theme is titled "Bringing It on Home," which celebrates the history and importance of fine press book fairs. The Fest in 2018 was from October 5-7. David Sellers of Pied Oxen Printers designed and printed the title page, Introduction, and colophon (in addition to his own broadside), using Canal Papers made by La Papeterie Saint-Armand. Types used are ATF's Garamond 459, Edwin H. Denby's proprietary, & Stephenson Blake's Fry's Ornamented. The broadsides are housed in a lovely portfolio bound by Campbell-Logan Bindery of Fridley, Minnesota."--Publisher's description.

"Vogel Totentanz is a bird dance of death alphabet book inspired by Hans Holbein's Dance of Death woodcut alphabet. After the Black Plague ravaged Europe in the late 14th century, death as inevitable regardless of status or age became a pervasive motif in art and literature. My present-day Totentanz is a reflection of that idea in context of our environmental crisis. Birds are indicator species for overall environmental health and human well-being." -- Artist's website.

"This series of images was created from 1993-2000 after the engraver discovered the wealth of non-native species housed in the desert collection at the Huntington Gardens, San Marino, California."-- From prospectus.

• Ministers of change / John Lewis
• The fire next time. My dungeon shook : letter to my nephew on the one hundredth anniversary of the Emancipation ; Down at the Cross : letter from a region in my mind / James Baldwin
• Eyewitness / Steve Schapiro
• Brother James / Gloria Karefa-Smart.

First published in 1963, James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time stabbed at the heart of America's so-called "Negro problem." As remarkable for its masterful prose as it is for its frank and personal account of the black experience in the United States, it is considered one of the most passionate and influential explorations of 1960s race relations, weaving thematic threads of love, faith, and family into a candid assault on the hypocrisy of the "land of the free." Now, James Baldwin's rich, raw, and ever relevant prose is reprinted in a letterpress edition with more than 100 photographs from Steve Schapiro, who traveled the American South with Baldwin for Life magazine. The encounter thrust Schapiro into the thick of the movement, allowing for vital, often iconic, images both of civil rights leaders-including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Fred Shuttlesworth, and Jerome Smith-and such landmark events as the March on Washington and the Selma March. Rounding out the edition are Schapiro's stories from the field, a new introduction by civil rights legend and U.S. Congressman John Lewis, captions by Marcia Davis of The Washington Post, and an essay by Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, who was with her brother James in Sierra Leone when he started to work on the story. The result is a remarkable visual and textual record of one of the most important and enduring struggles of the American experience. Marking the year of the original publication of the book and Schapiro's photographs, The Fire Next Time is limited to 1,963 copies including: Collector's Edition of 1,813 numbered copies, each signed by Steve Schapiro, featuring: Silk-screened hardcover with an embossed paper case. Letterpress printed text on a natural uncoated paper. Facsimile reproductions of ephemera from the era.
