Notes
Hand Written Book
We wrote about Craig Oldham’s Hand Written Letter Project in July. Our limited edition books arrived today (timed to perfection for Mr Persson’s birthday) and they’re very nice indeed. As Mr Oldham puts it:
The book has been achieved with experimental production methods and presents the letters as leaves, as close to the originals as possible. It incorporates the actual letterheads from many of the contributors alongside printed reproductions on a multitude of stocks, finishes, inserts, on UK A4, USA A4 and bespoke sizes in a case-bound, hard-back book.
Now able to hold the finished result in our hands, we can attest to the fact that the book is a truly unique and highly desirable piece of design. If they’re not already sold out, we’d urge you to pick one up before they all go. Truly, great work.
