has cultivated the book for book lovers in a lasting way. The society aims to represent and promote both old and new book art with its publications and events. 53 Amnesie in litteris (Literary Amnesia) Officina Ludi; Grosshansdorf / Hamburg; 2001 Author Patrick Süskind Illustrator/Artist Joachim Jansong Printer Claus Lorenzen Binder Stefan Cseh Contact www.officinaludi.de Book design by Claus Lorenzen. Thirty-six pages with three full-page etchings and three offset prints. Printed in hand-set Candida-Antiqua on a hand press on Velin d’arches and Schoellershammer papers. Etchings printed by Milan Drimal (Prague). Edition of 110 numbered copies, of which 10 are preferred editions in complete leather, embossed, with an additional original etching. This short treatise deals thoughtfully and humorously with the phenomenon of literary forgetting, something familiar to any reader who picks up a book read years ago and scarcely remembers any detail of the story. Why, then, read at all? Maybe reading affects much more than just memory and is overlaid with other levels of consciousness. Thus, the illustrations by Joachim Jansong deal with various strata: strata in trees, in stones, in layers of wallpaper and, yes, even with strata in the brain – woven into pictures of ruined remains of parchment, old folios, fragments of prose and poetry and pictures of writers. Officina Ludi, see book 14. 54 Amor und Psyche, Ein Märchen aus der Antike (Amor and Psyche, a fairytale from antiquity) Ascona-Presse; Ascona, Switzerland; 1999 Author Lucius Apuleius Illustrator Felix Hoffmann Printer Wolfan Druck Binder Roland Meuter Contact www.rmeuter.ch Edition of 100, 80 pages with 25 original engravings.

55 Die Grüne (The Green Woman) Hirundo Press; Hamburg, Germany; 1999 Author Kathleen Jamie Translator Caroline Saltzwedel Illustrator/Artist Caroline Saltzwedel Printer Klaus Raasch, Hamberg Binder Karen Begemann, Hamberg Contact www.hirundo-press.com Book design by Caroline Saltzwedel. Edition of 30, 20 pages printed in hand-set Walbaum Antiqua on Zerkall rag paper, with four etchings printed in the simultaneous color technique. Kathleen Jamie’s poems vividly capture the circumstances before and immediately after the birth of her first child (the Scottish expression “a green woman” means someone who has just given birth). A few Scots terms appear in the poems and are briefly explained in a glossary at the end. The Hirundo Press was founded by Caroline Saltzwedel in 1998 for the production of etchings and artist’s books in small editions. It takes its name from the swallow (Hirundo rustica). Hirundo Press occasionally produces new work by contemporary poets in letterpress editions. Other works relate to literary and mythological lodestars that guide the migratory bird through life: Joyce‘s Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, Homer‘s Odyssey, the Four Elements. Here the etchings, most of them printed in several colors simultaneously, play the most important role. To date, the Hirundo Press has published seven books and portfolio works.
