The somewhat manageable number of current literature on bookbinding, his relatives techniques and associated materials relating to a new release can not really go undetected, one would think. My friend Eberhard reported from a book the colored paper Verlag, Hamburg, which he earned on the BuBi trade fair in Cologne and it was still completely unknown to me, because I probably do not belong to the circle of the anointed one, which the little work has been offered.
Over the years of collecting and say, wants Aufhäufelns' of relevant literature, I immediately succumbed to the description of my possessiveness pulse, but borrowed the book. All Publishing Details:: here ::
The book, slightly larger than the famous island-books, comes in numbered, limited edition of 57 (2) S, printed on fine matt offset, top grade typografiert, bilingual German / English, hand-bound, color resolution, the stone printed reference paper, with pictures and pasted pattern leaflets, etc., etc. It is a very nice Pappbändchen where even the nagging spectator has no complaints that the work of well-known in Switzerland, book binder, trainer and colored paper maker Emil Kretz is dedicated. So much for
collector's item.
I read to me then the rendering of his techniques to the "glue batik papers" by which interest me added more than the worship of the almost forgotten master, I am also very pleased because I can understand his complicated-day production process well: Best paper, fresh wheat starch paste, clear or tinted light, hand-carved molds or rolls of a simple Abrolltechnik, thinned oil paints and a lot of water to wash the dried paste and even more time to dry the paint. There is also no mention of the alternative coloring with diluted ink for those (like me), which is contrary to the dilution of chemicals.
Emil Kretz is another good example of the do so in our culture, created and lovingly cherished Board book more attention and the necessary reference documents timely to make and durable produce, without the often tümelnden, old-fashioned design sensibilities of Bookbinders generations the 30s, 40s and 50s chasing, or to shop for convenience finished goods from Italy or Nepal. For my part, I have to think up something now, what can I put on about 1.2 square meters heated workplace and about 2 square meters unbeheizbarem work in the basement. That would exciting to think my better half by far.
