Synopsis
This deluxe edition of W.A. A Life in Design features a specially bound version of the book with a signed and numbered letterpress portfolio, housed together in a slipcase. The deluxe book is bound in Dwiggins-designed decorated paper over boards and a genuine leather spine stamped with Dwiggins ornaments and hand lettering by Richard Lipton. The letterpress portfolio contains 20 pages of Dwiggins’s writings (some never before published), printed letterpress from Linotype cast metal slugs using original Dwiggins typefaces for each piece. The texts — five essays and two works of fiction, plus a title page and colophon — are set on the Linotype in Dwiggins’s Caledonia, Electra, Eldorado, Metro, and the very rare Falcon, accompanied by an assortment of Caravan ornaments. Twenty-two illustrations, hand-lettered titles, and decorated initials (all made from original Dwiggins pen-and-ink artwork in the files of Boston Public Library) accompany the text, reproduced via high-quality copper photoengravings. The portfolio pages are printed by letterpress on Mohawk Superfine, in single sheets and four-page folders. The colophon page is signed by all members of the letterpress production team. The outer portfolio, made from Strathmore Grandee cover, features a Dwiggins ornament blind-embossed on the front cover. About the Book Often credited with inventing the term "graphic design," W. A. Dwiggins was a quintessential maker — fabricating his own tools, inventing techniques, and experimenting with design in areas as wide-ranging as modular ornament, stamps, currency, books, kites, marionettes, and theatrical sets and lighting. More than any of his contemporaries, he united the full range of applied arts into a single profession — designer. Despite this, a thorough study of Dwiggins has never been published. Until now. W. A. A Life in Design offers an engaging and inspiring overview of the designer’s wide-ranging creative output
