A beautiful post from about the work of designer John Morgan, featuring the work he did with and his own press . Many of these titles are available from , as well as the wonderful publications from .
Thank you Ivory Press😍❤️📚🙏❤️📚..................

John Morgan’s work was quiet, precise, and thoughtful. He paid close attention to structure, to typography, and to the way a book is held and read.

Over the years, many of his publications have passed through our bookshop. Often for a short time. They would arrive, and then quickly find their way into other hands. Each one carefully considered. Each one shaped with clarity and intention.

He was also behind Four Corners Books. An imprint known for its unique approach to content and form.

We have some of John Morgan books at Ivorypress Book Collection and a few available at our Ivorypress bookshop. Books he designed, and books published through .

Today, we open a few of them.
To look more closely.
And to remember his work.

Experimental Jetset - Statement and Counter-Statement 2: Typologies/Typographies/Topologies.

from Roma Publications

Ten years after the publication of ‘Statement and Counter-Statement’ (2015), Amsterdam-based graphic design collective Experimental Jetset returns with the second instalment of their dense monograph. Edited and designed by Experimental Jetset, ‘Typologies/Typographies/Topologies/Topographies’ brings together a broad selection of work by the designers and features a selection of essays contributed by several guest authors – James Goggin, Lieven Lahaye, Greil Marcus, Yasmil Raymond, and Lucy Sante – plus excerpts from other essays and interviews by Experimental Jetset from between 2015 and 2025, diligently compiled and edited by James Goggin.

Louis Porter - Search Engine

from

Search Engine – of which this book is a reproduction – is a series of ‘catalogue cards’ featuring photographs sourced from the London Library, one of the world’s largest independent lending libraries. These images are ordered as London-based artist, Louis Porter, encountered them – alphabetically by subject – on shelves that make neighbours of Sleep & Smuggling & bring together Pleasure, Poaching & Poisons. The result forms an archaeological exploration of the systems of knowledge that we often take for granted.

The construction of Search Engine took place amongst the stacks of the library’s Science & Miscellaneous section. Unlike most libraries, which use alphanumeric classification systems, the London Library is organised by sections & subject headings – primarily focusing on the humanities – with Science & Miscellaneous providing the overflow for an eclectic group of subjects, many of which echo the interests of the Victorian men of wealth who founded the library in 1841. For example, when entering the section, on the left-hand row one would encounter: Advertising, Aeronautics, Agriculture, Alchemy, Anatomy, Animal Lore, Arbitration, Archery, Arms & Armour, Artillery, Astrology & Astronomy.

Whilst Search Engine presents disparate subjects – Cats, Famine, Rubber, and so on – the frame upon which they are tethered resonates with an optical authority born of a rationalist world order. This hold on us not only lingers, as the ‘photographic’ is consumed & stochastically regurgitated by black boxes, but seems to be intensifying; much like a coin as it spins on a table, moving faster & faster, approaching the point where, suddenly, it stops. Taken as a whole, this book – Porter’s first for Perimeter Editions – could be understood as an archaeological dream of the photographic spirit from which we are assembling many of the perceptual models of our future experience of reality.

Matchbook Book

from



Matchbook Book presents a curated glimpse into the collection of Billy Woods, . Featuring over 250 images of matchbooks collected between the 1970s and late 1990s, the book traces a portrait of Britain through pubs, tandoori houses, travel agents, nightclubs and appliance repair shops in this once essential but now almost obsolete form of ephemera. 

Once every business would vie to have their brand in our pockets, now these small, mundane, and beautiful artefacts act as a record of places long gone, ci******es smoked, and conversations once had. The compact book renders its matchbooks at actual size and is encased in a reference to the format contained within, a glossy red sleeve folded and finished with the signature of the matchbook, a solitary staple.

Cream Psychosis - Mary Walling Blackburn

from 

“When an empire is lurching to a halt at its very end, it might be the moment when it begins, or is forced, to re-imagine its relationship to a national insanity.”

Mary Walling Blackburn from the essay "XOXO, Insanity, Institution”

Cream Psychosis begins near the annals of the Arkansas Lunatic Asylum, March 1883. In the 1990s, a scholarship kid meanders with inescapable difficulty through Northeastern boarding schools. Conspiring sugar planters, descendants of missionaries, overthrow Indigenous Hawai’i in 1893. A child learns how to split screens: hard core film, documentary, destruction, and q***r care in both 1970s Times Square and 1980s Salt Lake City SROs. Archeological digs, nuclear plants, and horrors of predation collide. California crumbles through the decades into the smog and sea. In 2020, all over, protestors meet BORTAC-trained soldiers under skies choked with propellers and noxious propellants. By 2025, peach pits, trench art, and war waste heap together.

This collection of essays by Mary Walling Blackburn, from the 2010s to the present, moves with near psychedelic precision across American time and its surrounding spaces.

"Facing a spiraling empire, Blackburn insists on showing volumes of teeming, vibrant life. The essays and works collected here are movies of America in parallax view." — Kaye Cain-Nielsen

"London’s Ours! - Celebrating the posters, billboards and publicity stunts that put two fingers up to Thatcherism.
A book from Four Corners reflects on the creative legacy of The Greater London Council, a radical political body that revolutionised the intersection of art and politics." -Olivia Hingley, It's Nice That

"Amazing new book of GLC archival material, poster designs and graphic brilliance from 1981 to 1986, an optimistic experiment and vision of inclusion, solidarity and community for the people of London." - Simon Armstrong

The vibrant publication, designed by Claire Mason, explores the GLC’s remarkable visual culture and its role in London’s political story, providing a unique picture of a remarkable period in British politics and of London itself.

Brackish Waters
Edited by Jesse Birch, Will Holder

from

BRACKISH WATERS is the third of three projects to engage the resource industries of Vancouver Island (mining, forestry, and fishing) through contemporary art and writing.

Brackish waters mingle the fresh with the salt. Departing from industrial ports and shoreline ecosystems, this publication crosses oceanic worlds of extraction and distribution. It responds to marine environments diffracted by the perspectives of artists, writers, Indigenous Elders, fish and fishers, biologists, citizen scientists, whales, physicists, boat builders, ship workers, sailors, pirates, brittle stars, and other creatures of the deep.

Nanaimo Art Gallery is located on Snuneymuxw territory, one block from the city’s harbor, a place that has seen the forced displacement of Snuneymuxw villages, the arrival of precarious mine workers from China, the UK, and Scandinavia, and the World War II internment of Japanese Canadians who ran herring salteries and shipyards there.

Such harbors have also been places of exchange, where shipping news and seafarers’ stories were shared. BRACKISH WATERS is a similar waystation. Expanding from two exhibitions, Landfall and Departure: Prologue and Epilogue, it records globally interconnected aquatic lives and histories, while considering submerged narratives and forms of cultural expression.
