Stew finally arrived on the edge of the continental shelf. Of course I read several at the back of the book first, then got intrigued at the varied and uniformly excellent illustrations. I have read about half the book so far and the poems are all fine. The layout is crisp, the cover dramatic...

Looking forward to seeing and reading this one.

BLACK RABBIT - What a treat. On so many levels. Elegantly printed by Bill Roberts, a story about how the author publisher Nicole Hennessey met Tom Kryss and what he told her about the sixties Cleveland and d.a. levy and black rabbit press, profusely illustrated by said black rabbits and other...

Don't see how you could go wrong with a book about Tom Kryss printed by Bill Roberts. Just ordered mines on paypal. -Richard

I ordered Thurston Moore's hardback [I have about half a dozen of his chaps plus Alabama Wildman] and, prompted by yr question, decided to carefully compare the two. The text of the hardback is sewn to the binding, which in addition to increasing the stability and longevityof the book, allows...

I had a chance to sit down and take a good look at the nine paper [+ 1 hard back] and am really impressed. There was the obvious similarity in footprint, binding technique, paper texture and exceptional quality. But each book was unique and the cover design, colors chosen, type face all...

Continuously outdoing yrself. Pushing yr craft. Each book unique, yet a piece of the whole. By the way, the books came in the mail today. Thanks, Bill.

Parrafin Van (poems 2009-2011) arrived today from Wales [w/ Jack of Spades as requested] beautifully made Chyldish book w/ Chyldish poems and photographs, spine, hangman's stamp, etc. 31 poems of aggressive passivity by printer/publisher Geraint Hughes, a sturdy uncluttered straight forward...

A classic set. You are establishing a new standard of excellence, and each book is unique.

I checked out the video Hosh posted. Geraint, the printer, has two indentured servants just like Bill. Great looking books too. I placed an order for the signed Childish book w/ laid in playing card [on place for additional notes to seller I specified some particular cards, if available] and...

Hi Bedsitbukaroo, Just sent you five short [but not haiku] poems previously unpublished on-line or on paper. Good luck w/ Alligator Stew Three. Richard

These first three set a high bar, but you consistently amaze and push the envelope. Go for it!

Nice picture, Roni. Glad they got there safely. Enjoy the extra goodies plus the Bukowski bookmark from green panda press. And thank you Bill for helping facilitate this.

I hope I can find a few that you are missing so that it will be EVEN MORE maddening;) My avatar, the image to the left of this instant text, is a photograph of the hand-set type of the poem referred to in my previous post. -Richard

The poem for Jason, Setting Type, in Bagazine 2, was printed on Karen Switzer's old press in Berkeley where some of the Rad Dads were printed. I have a few also. If I locate them I'll tell you their numbers.
