We're really loving this perfect bound book for Marriage Records

Letterpress, perfect binding, outerspace: a new MPH release

Perfect Bound Book, 232 pages, 4.25″ x 8″

Exterior: 1/0, Letterpress Printed, Curious Touch Soft Milk 11# Cover

Interior: 1/1, Exact 60# Text Peach and Gray, Pantone soy-based Reflex Blue ink

 

Wallace Cochran writes a creative non-fiction history of the rocket, and Marriage Records‘ publishing imprint MPH has released it in this gorgeous limited-edition book. One half of the band Drakkar Sauna, Cochran’s text lent itself to lyrics for the band’s latest release on Marriage Records.

 

This book was lovingly assembled from two colors of interior text-weight stock and wrapped in a cover letterpress printed by EMprint Press. Design was done by AF Jamison. As much an exploration of publishing as it is of paper and ink, we’re proud to have worked on this specimen of fine printing.
