27 Jahre Bleisatz Handpressen büchlein 1984-2010
An in-depth look across 27 years of the printer/artist's work.
"It contains handprinted works Romano Hänni created between 1984 and 2010. In addition, sketches, drafts and photos of the production process are shown, as well as projects realized in class.
"The two parts of this book are offprints of articles published in the Swiss Typographic Magazine (STM). The first part, about the handprinted books from 1984 to 1991, was published in STM 2/1992. The second part, about the handprinted books from 1992 to 2010, was published in STM 3/4/2010. Already in 1994, a book on the handprinted books from 1984 to 1991 was produced. At the time, the imprint stated an edition of 300 numbered copies. However, because of financial reasons, only 200 were bound. A total of 300 were printed, so 100 remained unbound. From these, 60 copies (number 211 - 270) were used for this book." - Introduction, Creating something of your own:
