The Colonial Printer & Bookbindery

I was asked what all I was working on. The photo is 6 of the 14 hard cover orders (not including 4 restoration pieces) scattered over 3 work tables.

Photo shows 3 (on right) historically accurate bindings in full hand dyed calf. Two full sheep (on left) and a quarter bound. These are not complete, just in the coverings and are waiting for pasted end papers, decorations, polishing, gold titling, and getting shipped to their respective owners.

Some additional new products are focused on the medical trade.

First is a pamphlet titled "A Method of Preventing or diminishing Pain" from 1784.
It professes a method of pressuring based nerve junctions to suppress pain impulses. It even has a illustration of the clamp to do just that. 56pg pamphlet $11.00

The next is a packet of 29 engravings from 1785. These engravings range through dissecting of the human body as well as listing of medical chemistry and herbs. Please note a sheet of green 'Fig Leaves" which can be cut out to cover any naughty bits. 29 - 8 1/2" x 14" sheets $39.50

Sometime back I published "Woman Not Inferior to Man" by Sophiain 1789. It is a pamphlet the puts forth logical (albeit 18th century based) reasoning why women could hold office, own businesses, and lead organizations.
The following year, and unnamed "Gentleman" wrote a rebuttal to her pamphlet. And, yes, in today's social perspective, it lends to be an example of 18th century misogyny.
"Woman Not Inferior to Man" - $12.50
"Man Superior to Woman" - $15.00
