Pretty sure I’ve never had a color quite like this on press — serendipitous concoction of hues that ends up something like a warm deep purple. Printing the outside of the envelopes that will house the new Thoreau book today. (Ditching plastic envelopes.)

Trimming more of Laura Berretti’s brilliant hand-marbled paper this afternoon, down to the size for the new book’s jacket.

“Pink—small—and punctual—“, as Emily Dickinson wrote. Today, putting the final pop of color, more of a “raspberry sorbet,” on the first page of the new Thoreau booklet.

Hand-cranking the cylinder press today, finishing printing the text of an excerpt from Thoreau’s journal. Slow, rhythmic, care-full, enjoyable work.
