This is a real loss....the passing of  someone who made a big
difference with the quality of his efforts.  The  fine craftsmanship of the
books themselves, separate from the beautiful  contents, was a joy to
behold.

Interesting  to note that he finally had to take a lot of his operation to
China. Not because  of the economics but because he could not get the
printmaking and formatting  quality he wanted here in the states. As you
noted, he was
very particular about  quality...more so, I think, than profit.
