I've been busy with another project that has been five years in the making, but is now complete. Five years ago, I began researching and writing a book centered on another interest of mine, the private press movement in Montana and Wyoming. The result is Small Presses in the Rocky Mountain West which was finished when I published it in January.
It is a niche work of interest primarily to collectors and institutional libraries as a reference work. It is now out there and is garnering some interest and is slowly appearing in the collections of various university libraries and collectors of private press books, which is gratifying.
In addition to the research and writing, I also took upon myself the task of designing the book as I can't afford to pay someone else to do it it. I'm a fair hand at book design, so it wasn't a chore, but a pleasure. I spent several months refining the design (with a little help from my friends) and can say I am very pleased with the results.
You can find out more about it on the website of Rising Wolf Press, my own private press, if you are curious.
With its publication and attendant publicity efforts done, I can now turn my attention back to Charlie & company. Look for a new post or page on the subject of this blog soon. I don't know what I'm going to write just yet, but I'll come up with something!
