New FIT LEAP FOR 2012: Week-at-a-glance Datebook

From PurgatoryPiePressINK

Long-stitch leather bound datebook, printed from reused vintage hand set wood and metal type onto up-cycled obsolete sea charts. Week-at-a-glance datebook, inter-office envelopes stitched in for pockets. Each binding is unique--various leather and thread colors available. Leather is by-product from New York City's fashion industry. Map paper is one-sided--so some pages are white, others are random maps.The paper is re-used, so imperfections abound--but we love them. At Purgatory Pie Press. we have made a limited edition datebook every year since 1980. Leap years repeat every 28 years--so this is also the 2040 datebook!
This signed and numbered edition is limited to 48 copies. Designed by Esther K Smith--hand-set wood and metal type and letterpress printing by Dikko Faust.
Spread size 4.75 x 9" Page size 4.75 x 4.5" Book size depending on the leather cover, a bit larger.

The radio piece brought in so much interest that we had to print a new edition--the binding is going slowly--but we are happy to put you on our wait-list~
