TOOLEMERA FACSIMILE EDITION
NEWS: Many people have requested the PDF to be printable at High Resolution. The clear message has been: We want our books on paper. In response to these requests, I am working on setting up a POD (Print On Demand) storefront to feature facsimile reprints of books from my personal library.
I am currently in the process of preparing the material for distribution as a high quality POD trade paperback. The book will feature a duplicate of each page, as it exists. Most reprints are actually re-typed, or so heavily processed that the text and images look brand new. In a facsimile reprint of this sort, the actual page image is reproduced, full size, in the book. Complete with fingerprints, original notations, creases, stains, off-center layouts and such, the book gives the reader the feeling of holding the original book, not a carefully spruced up copy.
The announcement of the release of the first Toolemera Press Facsimile Reprint will be forthcoming.
Our initial offering will be...
