Description
San Francisco: The Arion Press, 1994. Limited Edition. Hardcover. New. Thiebaud, Wayne. Folio size (13 3/4" by 10 1/4"), 356 pages plus 18 unnumbered pages for the prints (374 pages total). The text is Neo Didot, in Monotype composition by Mackenzie & Harris. The display type is Bodoni Bold, handset in foundry type. The drawings were printed by letterpress from photopolymer plates. The paper is French mould-made Lana Royale; a heavier weight of the same paper is used for the lithographs. The binding, done in-house, is hand-sewn, in full blue-gray cloth, with black titling on the front and spine, and a drawing by Thiebaud across the bottom. The slipcase is covered in the same cloth with titling and a vignette on the spine. The color prints, binding cloth, and slipcase were printed lithographically. Edition of 200 copies, plus 26 lettered copies hors de commerce, signed by the artist. M.F.K. Fisher (1908-1992) contributed an introduction to the second Arion Press book, "A Commonplace Book of Cookery", in 1975, but died before we were able to pay tribute to her by publishing her first major literary work, a translation of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin's (1755-1826) famous gastronomic essays. This book, originally made for hire in 1948 for the Limited Editions Club, formed her as an author on subjects relating to food, wine, dining, and living well in the largest sense. She became a good friend of the Press, extending invitations to "the crew" to come to her home in St. Helena for a hike and a swim, followed by lunch, where the conversation was always lively, but never about food. The artist Wayne Thiebaud delivered to Hoyem a large pile of original ink drawings and told him to use what he wanted. Hoyem made photocopies of the drawings and sorted and combined them as he saw fit and Thiebaud immediately approved the selection. He also made the nine lithographs in color, and drew a design for the cover of the binding that showed the skills he learned as a commercial graphic artist. A trade edition was published by Counterpoint in 1996. Note that while this copy is marked as a "Display" copy, we do not believe it was actually used as such as both the book and slipcase are in fine condition. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
