Atherton (Jeffrey) Black-letter. An Interpretation of Events Relating to the Time and Presence of Johann Gutenberg, one of 26 lettered copies signed by the author and publisher/designer Gerald Lange, from an edition limited to 146, printed largely in double column, bound in cloth-backed Japanese silk over boards, by Daniel E. Kelm at the Wide Awake Garage, upper cover with die-cut window revealing collotype print of Atherton's studio photograph "mirror and mould", uncut, housed in a cloth drop-back box, with original inked glass plate used to print the collotype inset into inside lower cover (box spine a touch sunned, upper cover with small sticker residue to lower corner), folio (324 x 235mm.), Marina del Rey, Ca., Bieler Press, 2000.*** Fashioned as a "bibliographic ghost" (Colophon), the fragmented narrative represents a compilation of the flotsam surrounding the 'Gutenberg Controversy' that raged in the late 19th century and into the early years of the 20th.
