Alligator Stew Issue 3 was my first release under my new press, but I'm proud to confirm my first venture with a solo poet will soon be available for purchase.

Harry Calhoun's collection of poetry 'Maintenance and Death'. Limited to 50 copies, it is 36pp with card cover, letterpress printed in gold. The back of the covers I've pasted pages from a 1960's English DIY magazine and there is vellum end papers.

It's a great collection and below are a couple of snaps of the cover and the insides (obviously each inside is unique). Please note that the inside shot is of an untrimmed copy, in case you notice a raggity edge.

That looks pretty nice.

But I don't think Harry likes "nice."

Oh mjp, you peanut brittle you.

Limited to 50 copies? Talk about exposure. Ha!

:rolleyes:

Harry has a new PR man now:

"Harry would like to thank you for your interest and hopes that some of you kind folk purchase a copy of his new book."

This new PR company has a team of one and limits its clients to 50.

Each client is numbered.

That's a good lookin' cover. Best of luck--hope the book sells out.

Handsome stuff!

Thanks Hosh and Bill. Joking aside me and Harry are happy as lambs with this one.

... me and Harry are happy as lambs with this one.

As well you should be. Tasty lamb chops this one. Harry knows how to fill the plate. Lally is perfect serving the menu.

I finished reading Maintenance and Death, and absolutely liked it. I got number 30 and hope that it has sold out.
