This weekend we took a field trip to Phillips de Pury
where we admired clever newspapers and vinyl-bound catalogs of urban ephemera by Michalis Pichler of Berlin, The Fillip Review and other works engineered by Jeff Khonsary and Courtenay Webber of Vancouver, and stacks of books and folding papers by Dexter Sinister, New York, especially the just-in-time Library Book. Next weekend is the Editions|Artists' Book Fair. Artists' books sometimes but by no means always = art books.

New York Sans Temps Morts
We spent last Tuesday afternoon at Woodside Press in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, assembling and arranging Nate Dorr's photos in letterpress albums, and trucked the finished product home to Harlem with the generous help of Art Welder Andy and his mum. They'll be on sale here and at bookstores as soon as we wrap them up in glassine.
