The Book of the Erinyes

I’m happy to say that I’ve prin­ted out the title and half-title pages.

On Wed­nes­day at the Let­ter­press work­shop I mono­pol­ised the press to run off 30 cop­ies of each (I’ve final­ised the lim­ited edi­tion to 30 copies).

Due to the nature of Let­ter­press there are slight vari­ations between each one — dif­fer­ing amounts and dis­tri­bu­tions of ink because of how I inked the text on each pass.  This is one of the things I really like about Letterpress.

Next up will be the Con­tents page (which I’ve already set, and is wait­ing in a gal­ley) and the first actual page of the book.
