"a history of the book in which the book’s fate over the long term is to become what it was all along: a binder."
@DrBibliomane and @craig2robertson in INSCRIPTION no. 2, on 'PINNING AND PUNCHING: A PROVISIONAL HISTORY OF HOLES, PAPER, AND BOOKS'
INSCRIPTION no. 2 is out in October -- it's all about HOLES, and ft.
WORDS by Deidre Lynch + Craig Robertson, Heather Wolfe, Galina Oustinova-Stjepanovic, James Misson, Louis Lüthi, Aleksandra Kaminska + Juliette De Maeyer + Myriam Dion, Michael Marcinkowski, Paul Reynolds ...
The incredible Harold Offeh has been filling his mouth with rock crystals for our forthcoming issue. Why?? Because HOLES is our theme, that's why! Here's a sneak preview of his very weird and brilliant Crystal Mouths.
Our project for @yalebookhistory on index cards and Edwin Drood -- 'Droodian Solutions' - is nearly done! Fascinating finding out how a card archive creates connections we never imagined. @djbduncan@roguepages
Landings! We have only ca. 15 copies left of Inscription no. 1 (with all the trimmings - vinyl lp, commissioned large print, poetry booklet), and there won't be a reprinting of no. 1 as we move to no. 2. You can snap up your collector's item via

Thank you Artists Book Reviews! INSCRIPTION 'strikes a balance between risk-taking and rigor ...[with] exceptional production value...it pushes at the limits of a physical publication...with [an] editorial board stacked with big names'

We're delighted to be working on a project on 'presence' for @yalebookhistory. Details to emerge: but at the heart of it are Dickens' (unfinshed) Mystery of Edwin Drood, hundreds of 6x4 cards, postal art, and practices of indexing. @OsbornEarlyMod @djbduncan@roguepages
INSCRIPTION no. 1 comes with (among other things) a vinyl recording of the brilliant Sean Ashton reading from his novel 'Living in a Land'. Here is the box of 500 black sleeves just arrived at Inscription Towers.
