STEEVES ANDREW

Smoke proofs essays on literary publishing, printing and Typography

Kentville, Nova Scotia, Gaspereau Press. 2014, First Edition. (ISBN: 1554471419) Paperbound, 8 vo. Book, printed paper wraps, 153 pages : illustrations, a very good copy,CONTENTS: 1. Library as workbench -- 2. What does it mean now that everyone has access to type -- 3. Why we accept shoddy books -- 4. The fetish for picture jackets -- 5. The shape of the poem -- 6. The ecology of publishing: an interview -- 7. Literary publishing & deep regard. "Why do accept shoddy books? This is the question at the heart of Smoke Proofs, a collection of six essays and one interview which takes a frank look at the state of the art of literary publishing, printing and book design in Canada. Ranging from the philosophical and the historical to the nuts and bolts of making books and getting them to market, Smoke Proofs argues for an approach to trade publishing which returns to its printerly roots, one in which the characteristics of various tools and techniques are considered alongside the broader implications of their use in the culture. Whether he's discussing ebooks, the de-professionalization of typography, the design of poetry books, the fetish for colour pictures on book covers, or our complicated relationship with the notion of 'beauty', Steeves continually points the reader back to his or her own responsibility for the preservation and use of that amazing, wily and robust cultural tool - the book " (from sleeve wrap on back cover). Very Good.
