An interesting one this as this bold and quite powerful cover presaged what were to be major changes in the identity of British Railways in the next two years. This 'principal' services timetable was issued in conjuntion with the regional timetables that had been a feature of BR since nationalisation in 1948. For 'national' coverage one went to Bradshaw's Guide, a feature of rail travel almost since it was invented in the 1830s. This 'main line' timetable was amongst the first to be issued in the new larger format although it still carries the heraldic symbol of the British Railways Board and uses Gill Sans. The new "British Rail" title and logo would come into use in 1964/5 and finally in the latter year the 24 hour clock became standard. Nevertheless this timetable has many of the hallmarks of things to come. One oddity is that the title page note it is published by the British Transport Commission - an organisation technically abolished on 1 January 1963, six months before this was produced. It was printed at the Baynard Press, Sanders Phillips, in London.

The title page from the 1964 "Alphabet", an international annual of letterforms, a magnificent production put together by the highly regarded ICI 'house' printers, the Birmingham based Kynoch Press. It was edited by R S Hutchings and published for them by James Moran and was the only volume of an intended series issued. The right page folds out to reveal the full alphabet. The main titling is Bodoni I think.

unending dream a Film Photobook by Scott Williamson
• Limited 1st Edition: Signed, Numbered & Hardcover (Print Run of 20-30)
• 148 pages, 107 black/white photographs with original poetry
• 8.25" x 5.25"
• $40 USD + shipping (March 2017)
• More Photos: bit.ly/udphotobook
unending dream is a photobook three years in the making; it traverses a wide range of themes related to human connection, reality, meaning, and conviction, as represented by the things I’ve seen, people I’ve met around the world, and poetry I’ve written over that span of time. It is therefore a very personal–almost diaristic–work, but ultimately is relatable universally on a human level.
I’ve been shooting film for over three years now with the idea that one day I would craft a loose narrative and compile a selection of it into a photobook. unending dream is that book. Although it contains photographs from the past three years, I have been working on the concept, writing, design, and production of the book myself for almost two years. And now–finally–reservations for the limited first edition are open!
For the first edition, I plan to produce an exclusive signed, numbered, and hardcover version of the book with a local printer here in Toronto (pictured here is a test softcover copy). A limited run of approximately 20-30 copies will be produced. I am targeting a mid- to late-March release and shipping.
If you are interested, please comment or message me and I will send you the details!

Seen forming part of an article in “The Fleuron Number V” edited by Stanley Morison and published by the Cambridge University Press in 1924. The article is about the work of Karl Klingspor by Julius Rodenberg, Leipzig, and was translated by Anna Simons. This two page example is from the 1924 printing of Gerhard (Gottlob Eusebius Fischer) “Liebes ABC” from 1820, the edition designed by Hans Bohn and printed using Tiemann Antiqua.
Karl Klingspor (1868 - 1950) was one of the two brothers who took over their father’s typefoundry in Offenbach am Main and that was renamed Schriftgiesserei Gbr. Klingspor in 1906. He was a noted type designer and typographer who, commissioning other important designers, helped the concern become one of the most noteworthy amongst German typefounders.

A fine title page to the 1948 Golden Cockerel Press edition of the Homeric hymn to Aphrodite, translated by F L Lucas and with plates by Mark Severin.
ICI produced some wonderful technical publications - and this is no exception - a bold pattern paper cover based on a ladle and furnace, with a neat titling. Oddly, given that ICI owned the very fine Kynoch Press, this is printed at Curwen Press in Plaistow.

Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.

Unbeknownst to many, Los Angeles has served as one of the most important oil provinces on the planet. From the initial discoveries near the turn of the 20th century, through the roaring 1920s, and into the present, oil has often guided and defined the development of the city. What's interesting, however, is that this fact is so often eclipsed by Los Angeles' well-documented histories as a center of film, entertainment, boosterism and agriculture. Forgetting Oildorado excavates the city's rich oil history, examines the slow decline of the local industry, and uncovers many of the active oil fields that lie hidden in plain sight, in the very midst of this teeming city.
This 120-page book includes text based upon Frank Ruchala Jr.'s monumental examination of Los Angeles' oil history, oiLA, with historical imagery sourced from Early California Oil by Kenny Franks and Paul Lambert. All other photography was shot by me, using a combination of Digital SLR, 35mm SLR, Medium Format Holga, and 35mm Lomo cameras.

Book cover design by Rudolph de Harak for The Siege of Leningrad by Leon Gouré. Stanford, CA, Stanford University Press, 1962. D764 .G66 1962
A rather clever promotional 'book' issued by the paper manufacturers Grosvenor, Chater & Co Ltd in 1930. Entitled "An Essay on Silence" by F A Corbett it consists of nearly 30 pages of blank paper composed of the company's Basingwerk Parchment paper in boards that are bound with their Royal Cornwall Cover Papers. The rear pages give information as to the papers, their sizes and costs.
It is a shame no designer or agancy for the production of the book is shown as the typeface and vignettes are charmingly of their age. Grosvenor, Chater's history went back to the 1600s as stationers and in 1854 they purchased the Abbey Paper Mills at Holywell in North Wales. This mill, built close to the site of Basingwerk Abbey, gave the name to one of their high quality papers, products they were noted for. The mills closed in the 1980s.

・・・
99歳、最期の長篇エッセイ。
切に愛し、いのちを燃やし、ペン一筋に生き抜いた。70余年にわたる作家人生の終着点。
「結局、人は、人を愛するために、愛されるために、この世に送りだされたのだ。
充分、いや、十二分に私はこの世を生き通してきた。」
三島由紀夫、萩原健一、石牟礼道子ほか、人生でめぐり逢った忘れえぬ人々、愛した男たち、そして家族の記憶。99歳まで現役作家としてペンをふるった著者が、自らの老いに向きあい、「その日」をみつめて綴りつづけた、最後の自伝的長篇エッセイ。
・本書よりーー
私は自分の「その日」を、どのような形で迎えるのであろうか。
九十九歳とは何と長い、そして何と短い時間であっただろう。
百歳近く生きつづけて、最も大切なことは、自分の生きざまの終りを見とどけることだけであった。
戦争も、引揚げも、おおよその昔、一通りの苦労は人並にしてきたが、そんな苦労は、九十九年生きた果には、たいしたこととも思えない。
生きた喜びというものもまた、身に残された資産や、受けた栄誉ではなく、心の奥深くにひとりで感得してきた、ほのかな愛の記憶だけかもしれない。
結局、人は、人を愛するために、愛されるために、この世に送り出されたのだと最期に信じる。
充分、いや、十二分に私はこの世を生き通してきた。
