I’ve updated the running hand-list of Rob Roy Kelly’s 1964 folio with newly located copies at http://www.woodtyperesearch.com. Of the 45 folios Kelly produced, 33 have now been located. The most recent addition to the running list is No 5, now located in a private collection in Kansas City, Missouri. This was Kelly’s personal copy, recently consigned by his daughter. In addition, a spring trip to Special Collections in The Hugh M. Morris Library at the University of Delaware in Newark, provided the opportunity to examine the library’s full copy (No 16) as well as a truncated set made up of the twelve-page introductory text and numbered plates 30, 33, and 38.

It is my hope that with the publication of this list, locations of the remaining complete folio may come to light.

Time for a little interlude of positive affirmations… some little zigzag fun with gorgeous patterned paper covers. Some covers use Cambridge Imprint & one is Scion wallpaper but the little marbled one with the ‘fruity’ language was hand dipped by my own fair hand. Marbling paper is such fun, so is making teeny zigzag books. What would you like to see inside one? #zigzag #letterpresslove #positivevibes
