If you have put off ordering a pre-publication discount subscription to the catalog of the exhibition American Decorated Publishers' Bindings, 1872-1929, there will be a price increase November 15. Orders placed on or before November 14 will be at the current price for the Deluxe Edition, Limited Edition, or CD-ROM edition.
Only 4 copies of the Deluxe Edition and 6 copies of the Limited Edition remain available at Pre-Publication pricing. After these copies are subscribed, the pre-publication subscription price becomes the same as the Publication Price. No discounts will then be available.
The exhibition has ended,
but the web version is archived at
http://minsky.com/amdecpub.htm
More than 50 designers are represented in the collection, and the catalog has been expanded from the original 200 books to include 400 designs. The Deluxe Edition will have color images of all 400 covers, with detail images of significant monograms. The Limited Edition will have 100 color images illustrating the catalog essays. Both editions include the CD-ROM, which has all the images and more, including a database of the collection.
Pre-publication subscribers have immediate access to the private Subscribers' Website. This has a checklist of all 400 books in the collection with color images, updated as new items are added, and current drafts of the essays, updated as they are written. It also has current versions of the database that you can download in either tab delimited or .xls format.
All three editions are scheduled for publication in 2006.
