In preparation....



Gearing up for the big print run, after speaking to Simon about the project I settled on 60gsm Bible Paper to letterpress the pages of my condensed books onto. This is it cut to size, above.

Using this stock means each page can be torn off the blocks easily and can exist as something not too precious. It's an idea stemming from the fact that when paperback novels first became widely available and cheap, readers on ocean liners would sometimes read a book tearing out each page as they go and chucking it over board.
