A propos de cet article

A Bibliography of Material Relating to Private Presses By Irvin Haas With an Introduction by Will Ransom Publisher: The Black Cat Press, Chicago, Illinois Completed: March 1937 | First and Only Edition Limited to 250 Copies ???????????????????????????????????? LIMITED EDITION ? 250 COPIES Per the colophon: "This volume was designed by Norman W. Forgue and is printed from Linotype Granjon and Ludlow Garamond on Worthy Sterling Wove in an edition limited to 250 copies. Bound by Brock & Rankin. Completed at Chicago, March, 1937." ???????????????????????????????????? ABOUT THIS BOOK One of the essential reference works in the literature of private press collecting ? a concise, authoritative bibliography covering books about individual private presses, books containing data about private presses, and periodicals and articles relating to the subject. Compiled by Irvin Haas in close collaboration with Norman W. Forgue of the Black Cat Press, who also designed and printed the volume. The introduction is by Will Ransom ? one of the foremost authorities on private press history in America and author of the landmark Private Presses and Their Books (1929), upon which this bibliography partially builds. Ransom's involvement lends the work significant authority and places it squarely within the canon of private press scholarship. The bibliography is organized into three sections: I. Books About Individual Private Presses II. Books About Private Presses Generally III. Books Containing Data About Private Presses Notably, the Black Cat Press itself is catalogued within the bibliography ? a press appearing in its own bibliography, produced by that same press. The volume also includes a thorough index. ???????????????????????????????????? PRODUCTION Designed by Norman W. Forgue (1904?1983), founder of the Black Cat Press and one of Chicago's most significant private press printers. Set in Linotype Granjon and Ludlow Garamond on Worthy Sterling Wove paper. Bound by Brock & Rankin, Chicago. ????????????????????????????????????
