Rebecca at Birmingham's International Project Space (which can be found in my old college in Bournville) very kindly sent me a couple of copies of the booklet produced in conjunction with their current exhibition: Formats for books: Hyphen Press and design publishing. It's a small, but actually very nice, consolation for not being able to get to the show. A show made all the more interesting by the opportunity to hear Robin Kinross talk about the Press on Wednesday 5 May. The booklet is excellent: basically untrimmed, it's kind of delicate to handle; any false move, when you unfold it to read, and you're likely to separate perforations. Perforations, ironically, there to hold the pages together while it is being prepared for trimming. Eye mentioned this recently.
