LONELY IMPULSE OF DELIGHT: ONE READER'S CHILDHOOD by Dana Gioia; etchings by Kay Bradner

50 copies, signed by author and artist, 24 pages 10 x 6.5 inches. Printed in 2-color letterpress by Jonathan Clark at The Artichoke Press, on Arches rag paper. Title-page and endpiece etchings printed by Kay Bradner. Initials and ornaments by Ward Dunham. Hand-bound in antique Swedish paste-paper boards and goatskin spine titled in gold.

This book began as a project several years ago. The text is by Dana Gioia, former chairman of the National Endowment of the Arts. This is a tale of a young child's refuge in the world of books. Clark spent a long time perfecting this volume which will strike a chord in the heart of readers everywhere. Images are from master printmaker and Donna Seager Gallery artist, Kay Bradner.

I've been waiting for this book for a long time and hope you will consider adding it to your collection.
