— Editor's note —

Fourteen new essays.
Three field reports.
One quiet room.

The fourteenth issue of our slow-print quarterly is in final proofing now. As always it is printed letterpress in single colour, sewn by hand, and mailed in unbleached kraft. Subscribers receive the issue first; remaining copies will be released at the shop on the morning of publication, which is the moment the clock at the foot of this page reaches zero.

Colophon — a note on the printing

This issue is set in Caslon's roman and italics, with display titles in Garamond Premier. It is printed letterpress on Mohawk Superfine 100lb text, in a single pass, in black with one accent of vermillion. The fourteenth volume is bound by hand at the Hatchery in Knoxville, sewn in eight signatures and wrapped in unbleached kraft.

We print four hundred copies of each issue. Two hundred go to subscribers, fifty to libraries and the rest are sold at the shop. We have no plans to print more, and have no plans to scale up; the next issue takes the time it takes.

If you find a typesetting error, or a missing line break, we would be glad to know about it. We do not publish errata online; we keep a hand-written list in the studio and apologise to each reader by post.

The cover of this issue is by Tomáš Krejčí, made with paint and a single press run. We have his permission to use it on the website too.
