UPCOMING: The Writings of Hakim Bey
This project aims to capture all freely available books and essays of Hakim Bey (a.k.a. Peter Laborn Wilson) in one volume. Hakim Bey's books are released under anti-copyright from AK PRess, Garden of Delight, Autonomedia. These text (and others) have been collected, digitized and released on hermetic.com. Currently, tangable volumes are released in small paperback that range from (8.5in x 5.5in) to (7in x 4.5in). The scope of this project is to release these text with a larger format, printed on better paper, and proper typographic treatment.
Editions will be limited to 10 heavy / 50 fine
UPCOMING: Custom Ledger and Daybooks
Most contemporary account books are not built to withstand everyday usage and have tight entry rulings. This the goal of this project is to create and reissue day journals and ledger books, with an emphasis on high quality binding and page construction/layout. Pages will use a narrow page format, which compresses the folio spread to a single page (rather than two pages). Line ruling will also be wider to allow for compfort in writing for everyday use.
Ledger books will be larger, designed for home/office use.
Daybooks will be smaller, designed for portable use.
