This book is no.14 in the Codex Foundation Code(x) +1 Monograph Series. "Historians love pivot points, those times when energies converge and the future can unfold in strikingly different directions. Life seems so unknowable and chaotic on the near side of a shift, and then, ten years on, events seem to have aligned into the only possible outcome. I believe that the book arts are, once again, at such a pivot point: previous ones being in the 1960s and the 1980s. Here is the good news: there is no question that in the past thirty years, the book arts (and in particular, letterpress printing) have expanded and matured light years beyond my imaginings when I joined the field in 1984."
