Stephanie J Lahey, PhD<p>Welcome to June.<br>In this month, in 1749, settlers heading to Halifax, Nova Scotia with Cornwallis incl. Herbert Jefferie, printer, &amp; Thomas Blackwell, bookbinder. Whether they carried type &amp; other equipment is unclear. The 2 may have continued on to Boston, yet it’s possible Jefferie briefly worked in Halifax. If so, he could be Canada’s first printer—an honour usually bestowed upon Bartholomew Green Jr.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BookHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BookHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/typography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>typography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CdnHist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CdnHist</span></a> 📚 📜<br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookhistodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookhistodons</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span></p>

Leah Price<p>Has anyone laid hands on the US far-right's bid to bring back fine press books for gentlemen-subscribers? (Highlights: the promise of a “sublimely produced object with centerpiece quality”; the mixed metaphor that vouches “what binds this work is its quality, the bright heat of life and human blood that emanates from these pages”; the reassurance that that “this new program is retroactive and eternal.”) <a href="https://passage.press/products/passage-prize-volume-ii-rewilding-patrician-edition" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">passage.press/products/passage</span><span class="invisible">-prize-volume-ii-rewilding-patrician-edition</span></a>.
