Finally 'The Observation and Guide to The Jack Russell Terrier', Volume 1 is finished. On Wednesday we drove to see Martin Clark and Anneleise Appleby at the Tilley Printing Company to collect them through conditions that varied from thick fog to monsoon downpours. Believe me there's nothing like the M6, M42 and M5 in those conditions, never mind the A14.
The finished book is printed letterpress on Zerkal Smooth White, mould-made, acid-free paper, the text pages are on 145gsm Zerkal, the dust jacket 225gsm Zerkal. The book measures 7 inches x 6 inches.
The edition is limited to three hundred fifty copies and each one is numbered and signed.
The volume contains fourteen linocuts in two colours and one single colour linocut all of which are printed from my original blocks. The text accompanying the illustrations was written by myself.
There is a splendid introduction by John Andrews, 'Andrews of Arcadia' himself. John has known all our Jack Russell terriers and he was actually instrumental in us acquiring the lovely and feisty Minnow.
The book costs £30.00 plus post and packaging of £1.95 within the UK. Overseas costs are available on request.
Copies of the book can be ordered from the Two Terriers by email or telephone on 01945 773850 or contact us through the blog.
