Books at Paper Revival Press



Let's Eat Here in Tuscaloosa we have a fantastic farmer's market every Thursday. The quality of food and the spirit of the local farmers inspired me to print this recipe book. Snow's Bend Farms, Katie Farms, and Hewett's Honey Farm donated recipes for this publication. I also included a listing of more than 40 Alabama food producers and their contact information. The edition size is 100 and this is printed on French Paper construction text weight and French Paper cover stock. All illustrations and text were printed using photopolymer plates. This is a pamphlet-stitch structure. 2009.
Allowed to Be This hand-bound edition explores the fleeting and simultaneously irreparable feeling of grief due to the loss of someone close. The text paper is all handmade from cotton and abaca and the endsheets are Fabriano. The binding is a flatback case binding structure and is composed of museum board and bookcloth. 2008.
Snowflake Accordion Miniature A miniature accordion made as a response to the first photographs of single snow crystals, as taken by Wilson Bentley in 1885. Printed on Rives BFK. 2009 A tiny lesson in beekeeping A long fascination in beekeeping led me to create this small accordion. The images are a combination of woodcut and linoleum relief printing and the papers used are khadi (cover) and biblio (text). All text is handset and letterpress printed on a Vandercook SP-15 proofing press. 2007. Untitled This accordion was a collaboration with printmaker Hannah Birch. Hannah used intaglio plates to create blind embossings that accompany the haiku text--which I wrote and printed using an electronic typewriter. 2004. Animals I Like This is my first handmade book. The images in this accordion style structure are all woodcuts and printed on Rives BFK. 2003. Four Trees This diminuitive accordion was printed on an intaglio press and all images are woodcuts. 2003. Nag Hammadi This historical binding is a reproduction of one book in a series of Gnostic texts originating from 3rd and 4th century Egypt. The cover is made from one piece of hand-distressed leather and all ties are hand-sewn. 2009. Vellum Binding The cover of this non-adhesive, historical binding is made from one piece of goatskin vellum that has been scored and folded to meet the appropriate dimensions. The textblock is sewn into the cover with leather cords. 2009. Rounded Back Bindings Both bindings are covered in hand-pared quarter leather. The pink and red cover is hand-marbled paper and the blue and grey endsheets pictured are also hand-marbled using the Suminagashi technique. Hemp cord provides the decorative and functional design on the spine. 2008.
