Emigre: three new books

Emigre hat das Magazin eingestellt und widmet sich nun der Buchgestaltung. Wir werden versuchen, Rezensionsexemplare zu bekommen um diese 3 neune Bücher von Emigre zu besprechen (wobei Graphic History und Type Specimen nur in limitierten Auflagen erscheinen!). Anbei vorab schon eine Info hierzu, für all diejenigen, die nicht warten wollen.
A Graphic History of Emigre Magazine Compiled and Designed by Idea.

In January 2006, the Japanese design magazine Idea devoted 132 pages
of issue #314 to publishing a graphic history of Emigre magazine
commemorating the publication of Emigre's final issue in 2005.
Compiled and edited by the editors of Idea magazine and designed
by Tokyo-based Shirai Design Studio, this special edition includes
introductions (English & Japanese) by Kenneth FitzGerald and David
Cabianca, an interview with Rudy VanderLans (English & Japanese),
and a selection of 5 essays culled from past issues of Emigre
(Japanese only). Also featured is a reprint of Zuzana Licko's first
interview (English & Japanese), originally published in Emigre
#15 in 1990.
Now, Emigre has made available a limited edition, case bound version
of this 132-page section, which features over 158 reproductions of
Emigre covers and layouts, plus an insert with various excerpts
from Emigre's type specimens.

132 pages, 9.125 x 12 inches, 158 full color reproductions,
cloth cover, sewn and case bound.

Limited edition of 50 numbered copies.

Emigre Fonts Type Specimens Volume I

Over the years Emigre has published numerous type specimen
booklets to announce and exhibit its new typeface releases.
From the beginning, we have set aside 100 copies of each, with
the idea to eventually publish bound sets.
Most of these specimen booklets have long been unavailable,
so we are happy to announce that we have now compiled 100 sets
each containing 12 of the original Emigre type specimen booklets.
Each set is case bound into a volume and cloth covered, with
letter press printed endpapers and intro pages.
Includes specimen booklets for Tribute, Not Caslon, Hypnopaedia,
Vista, Keedy Sans, Apollo, Fairplex, Cholla, Dalliance, Puzzler,
Poppi and Platelet.

288 pages, 5.5 x 8.5 inches, cloth cover, sewn and case bound.
Limited edition of 100 numbered copies.

New Orleans as it Was
Sketchbook Drawings by Mark Andresen
1988 - Hurricane Katrina

Late on August 28, 2005, hours before Hurricane Katrina struck
land, Mark Andresen, his wife Paula, and their two cats loaded
up their car and fled from New Orleans.
They would not return anytime soon. They left behind many of their
possessions, but Paula had insisted they bring Mark’s sketchbooks.
Andresen had moved to New Orleans in 1988 and quickly established
himself as a commercial illustrator winning numerous local and
national awards. Between jobs, in order to flex his creative
muscles, he habitually sketched life in New Orleans as he
encountered it. Like a visual diary, these sketchbooks became
a record of Mark’s impressions of New Orleans covering the 18
years he lived there.
This book is a selection of drawings taken from those rescued
sketchbooks.

Designed and edited by Rudy VanderLans.
Published by Gingko Press.

112 pages, 8 x 8 inches, over 100 ilustrations, softcover
with flaps, perfect bound.

$19.95
(Emigre will donate $10 for every copy we sell of "New orleans as
it Was" to The Tipitina's Foundation which is dedicated to
helping artists recover from Hurricane Katrina and preserving
the cultural traditions of New Orleans).
