Some of the knife styles Cheney notes in A Treatise on Pocket Knives include the curved bistoury blade, used by surgeons and tailors alike and the seventeenth-century typesetterÕs coping blade (p. 32). He contextualizes the styles of knives by offering a history of their production and popularity. The Barlow knife, Cheney explai…ns, was Òa medium-sized knife designed for cheapness and durability.Ó This pocketknife was Òthe knife Tom Sawyer had and was the characteristic boyÕs knife of the 19th and early 20th centuries,Ó (p. 12). 3 x 4." 36 pp. With decorative initials and 3 pages of illustrations of different varieties of pocketknives. Original orange-brown printed stiff paper wrappers lettered in black. Sewn with tan cord. Fore-edge untrimmed. With an unsigned note laid in: ÒThis one sewn on cords. Only one in the lot so sewn,Ó in contrast to the white thread used to sew other copies. A fine copy. First edition. Based on CheneyÕs usual limitations for similar items, he probably printed around 100 or 150 copies. He printed a second edition in 1968 (Los Angeles Typesticker, 71). The note included in the present item has been written on the blank verso of a stray page (24) from another copy of A Treatise on Pocket Knives; however, the page is printed on a different paper stock than the present item and, in addition, the verso of page 24 in the present item is printed with text. Thus, the note may be written on a proof page. A Los Angeles Typesticker, 57. See also: ÒWill Cheney at 90,Ó Clark Library exhibition catalogue, p. 22.

Etat : Fine. For Fleecestreet's Improved Pig Latin Grammar, Will Cheney took on the voice of Jason AugustusFleecestreet to add further critical commentary to A Pamphlet in the Four Basic Dialects of Pig Latin (1950) by Brigadier General Cyclops Stonebone. Fleecestreet, a long-suffering scholar and educator,writes, "the works of…the late General Cyclops Stonebone (1870 - 1953), though nowadays largely discredited as linguistics, have lain so long on the shelves of our school libraries that his classifications and nomenclature have come to be accepted as classic," (pp. 3-4). This item is the final work on Pig Latin by Cheney and was printed a full thirteen years after Stonebone's Pamphlet introduced Southern California (and the world) to CheneyÕs Pig Latin scholarship. Miniature book, 2.5 inches by 1.75 inches 30, [4] pp. Title page printed within a ruled border.With bibliography and index. Quarter brown calf, marbled paper over boards, spine titled in gilt. A fine copy. One of 200 copies, letterpress printed by Cheney at the Clark Library. Bound by Bela Blau. ÒCheneyÕs typography stands out in his miniature books. "Of the fine printers of the Southern California Renaissance, Cheney is arguably the most unusual," wrote Bruce Whiteman. "He is devoted to type. His obsessions are thankfully tempered by a fine sense of irony, and he clearly knows very well that a life devoted to printing small editions of small books about recondite subjects (Pig Latin, pocket knives, Greek, etc.) is an odd life indeed, however fulfilling" (Bradbury, p. 47). Bradbury, 20th Century United States Miniature Books, 686.
