I have printed 8 special limited editions where Tom Herman of Seven Fingers Jeweler made these wonderful brooches, Mariana Blau of A1 Bindery did the binding and the clamshell boxes. The first three examples are Wine Poetry for all seasons, the second is extracts from John Muir’s Yosemite, and the other Three Haiku masters. They will be available at the upcoming Rose City Book and Paper Fair, or with direct communication.

These are the people who helped start The Clinker Press. Regis Graden of NutQuad Press taught me letterpress printing. Muir Dawson of Dawson Bookstore gave me much inspiration.
