pages.

San Serriffe books. As Swift used
Gulliver, Henry Morris resurrected
his mythical author, Theodore
Bachaus, from the Bird & Bull
Commonplace Book and Number 13 to
give us comments on a very bad lot
of marbled paper he received. Very
amusing. Spine and upper cover
faded. [11227]
8. (Bird & Bull Press) Nevins, Iris. VARIETIES OF SPANISH MARBLING, A HANDBOOK OF
PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION WITH TWELVE ORIGINAL MARBLED SAMPLES.
N.P.: Bird & Bull Press and Iris Nevins, 1991, 8vo., quarter cloth,
Spanish marbled sides, leather
spine label. 79 pages.
$ 350.00
First edition, limited to 250 numbered
copies. Composed in Cochin types and
printed on Johannot mouldmade paper.
Of all the marbled patterns, the Spanish
is the most difficult to achieve. This
book contains detailed instructions for
making twelve different patterns, as well
as original 5 x 8 inch specimens. No
literature or documentation on the origin
or practice of marbling in Spain has thus
far been discovered. This book is the
first to concern itself exclusively with the
technique of Spanish marbling. [31962]
