Hey,
I just picked up this amazing book that was printed by Graham Mackintosh in 1965.
http://bibliophemera.blogspot.com/2010/11/holman-exhibit-printing-art-in-texas.html
I knew that Graham printed for Black Sparrow, White Rabbit, Oyez, Four Seasons Foundation, Capricorn & Capra Press. Maybe there were more. He certainly was busy.
He died about a year ago. As is usually the case, the guy behind the scene did not get much of a mention in the press upon his death. I really believe that he was an amazing printer and designer and his body of work should be celebrated. Looking at many of the books that I have here or have seen that he did, they all have a classic elegance and are extremely well printed. The paper (at least on the books that I have seen) is very well chosen and the design/printing is amazing.
Anyone have any other info on who else he printed for or what other presses he was involved in? I bet that Jason Davis knows a bunch. His site http://verdantpress.com/tag/graham-mackintosh/ has a lot of information.
