BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: Finely Printed Livres D’artistes 1919-2010—1st Ed HARDCOVER

Description: • For Your Consideration: • A First Edition, First Printing in HARDCOVER (VG+ / UNREAD condition) of: • A (BEAUTIFUL!) Book About Books for Book-Lovers: • “THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: FINELY PRINTED LIVRES D’ARTISTES 1919-2010”(The Grolier Club / David R. Godine, 2010) (Hardcover, First Edition, First Printing) • BY JERRY KELLY, RIVA CASTLEMAN, & ANNE H. HOY Jerry Kelly, Riva Castleman, & Anne H. Hoy • PREFACE BY PETER STRAUSS • ABOUT THIS TITLE: • “Fine art and fine bookmaking meet in this full color selection of 77 books from Europe and the Americas. The authors select, and comment upon, the ‘best of both worlds’: books whose pages reveal the best graphic work of the past century; artwork from the hands of masters as diverse as BRAQUE, CALDER, DINE, HOCKNEY, MAPPLETHORPE, MATISSE, MAILLOL, PICASSO, OLDENBURG and RIVERS―coupled with memorable texts orchestrated by the best designers, printers, and binders…. Livres D’Artistes always contain art, and the art often serves as the primary reason for the book's existence. And the history of bookmaking, since THE GUTENBERG BIBLE, contains examples of books whose typographic and design excellence is immediately apparent and beyond dispute, but which contain no art. Occasionally, the two worlds intersect and overlap, resulting in books as noteworthy for their artwork as their printing, as praiseworthy for their artistic content as their design and manufacturing…. At once a visual feast and a provocative tour through well- and lesser-known titles, the primary thesis this book suggests is that one world does not have to be sacrificed at the expense of the other. In the hands of expert collaborators, a book can incorporate the best of both worlds the artistic and the bibliophilic to provide a vehicle that both exalts the contents and celebrates the messages.”—THE PUBLISHER • “A beautifully produced book based on an exhibit at THE GROLIER CLUB from May-July 2011, which showcased books that combined excellent typography, finely printed on exquisite paper, well-bound with art work that matched the quality of the book production. The seventy-seven books featured span the years from 1913-2006, with the book giving production details and commentary on the art work and how it integrates with the rest of the book design. It helps that one of the authors, JERRY KELLY, is a great book designer and printer. A wonderful peak into some of the best finely made books of the last century. Even if I don’t agree on a few of the choices (selection in a book like this is always subjective), overall the authors did a great job. The book is easy to read and a feast for the eyes. If you are interested in books on books and you don’t already have this volume, grab it…you will not regret it.”—MARC JOSEPH, GOODREADS REVIEW • ABOUT THE AUTHORS:• “JERRY KELLY is a calligrapher, book designer, and type designer; his work has been honored more than thirty times for the AIGA ‘Fifty Books of the Year.’ In 2015 he was presented with the 28th Goudy Award from RIT. Before starting his own design business in 1998, KELLY was Vice President of The Stinehour Press, preceded by a decade as designer at A. Colish. KELLY has taught typography at Pratt Institute and Parsons School of Design in New York. KELLY has served as Chairman of the American Printing History Association, President of The Typophiles, and has written several books on calligraphy and typography, most recently TYPE REVIVALS.” —THE PUBLISHER • “RIVA CASTLEMAN was an American art historian, art curator, and author who is credited with promoting the mediums of printmaking and illustrated books as serious forms of fine art. From 1976–95 she was Director of the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.” —THE PUBLISHER• “ANNE HOY is the author of six books on camera art, modern design, and popular culture. A former curator at the International Center of Photography, she is also an editor of art books and exhibition texts for the New York Historical Society and Rizzoli, among other publishers. She has taught the history of modern art at The NYU School of Professional Studies since 1995 and holds an advanced degree in art history from NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts.” —THE PUBLISHER• “PETER STRAUSS is a founding president of the New York printing company Pilgrim Press, the oldest surviving publishing operation in North America. He is also one of the world’s most accomplished collectors of the modern illuminated manuscripts called livres d’artistes. Over three decades of collecting—beginning in his fifties—he amassed over one hundred of these valuable illustrated books.” —THE PUBLISHER • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: Finely Printed Livres D’artistes 1919-2010” AUTHORS: JERRY KELLY, RIVA CASTLEMAN, & ANNE H.

THANK YOU! ********************** /\___/\=•ᆺ•= “We believe it’s good business to be good to our customers.” *********** FLAPPINCAT’s HOUSE RULES ***********1. GENERAL TREATMENT. We enjoy treating FLAPPINCAT customers with honesty & respect & warmth because that’s how we like to be treated when we buy things on eBay.2. GENERAL ATTITUDE. We are grateful you choose to trust us with your business. We aim for that gratitude to permeate every part of how we engage with you.3. OUR DESCRIPTIONS. We describe every item we sell as clearly and accurately as we can. When it comes to describing condition, we tend toward being conservative. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We know from experience that items, when not thoughtfully packed, can be damaged during shipment. To avoid that real danger, FLAPPINCAT wraps & cushions your purchase(s) mindfully—and sometimes zealously—in a sturdy package. WARNING: In our zeal, we sometimes over-tape containers and you may need a penknife to unseal our shipments. NOTE: Though we often recycle shipping materials, we do NOT stint on protection. 5. OUR PRICES. We try to offer the lowest prices on eBay for items we sell. Even our most expensive offerings tend to be lower than what others are asking. “You could look it up!” —to quote baseball immortal JACK KEEFE. SUMMARY: We know you have many buying options on eBay. FLAPPINCAT tries to be distinctive by being accurate, mindful, and friendly. *********** How We GRADECONDITION ***********DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven't described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?)POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math). EXTRA VISUALS. Although we include multiple photographs in our listings, we usually have others we could share with you. (These extra photos also help to establish a paper-trial in the rare case that an item is damaged en route to you.)*********** SHIPPING ***********Every item is individually priced for postage. That price can be found in the listing, not here. UNITED STATES: In the USA, we ship books via MEDIA MAIL. Magazines are generally shipped PRIORITY MAIL; the Post Office does not permit magazines which carry advertising to be shipped MEDIA MAIL.INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS: To those international countries to which we ship (please see list), the cost of postage is calculated by eBay and individually listed with each item.EXPEDITED SHIPPING: In the United States, EXPEDITED SHIPPING is available if you request, and pay, for it BEFORE we ship your item. *********** HOW TO PAY ***********PAYMENT: As we ship promptly, we ask that you please pay promptly—via PAYPAL. With auctions, payments should be made before 3 days (72 hours) from the time an auction for an item closes. After 4 days—and independent of us!—eBay automatically begins a process for unpaid action. NEED MORE TIME? If you need more time to pay, PLEASE just contact us in advance of the deadline. We understand how life happens, so we don't mind being reasonable. Thank you!*********** LASTLY ***********What more can we say? Haven't we said enough? Well…we can always repeat ourselves. In summary: FLAPPINCAT is genuinely grateful for your patronage and we aim to express that gratitude in every way we can. Thanks for trusting FLAPPINCAT! *********** P.S.
