Summary

• COLOPHON: "Aquainted With the Night is the first publication of Quercus Press. The type was set in 14 point Gothic Condensed, handprinted at The Silver Buckle Press on dyed johannot paper; the cover paper was handmade; and the prints are etchings with aquatint, drypoint: by John Carrera. Anna Hepler was the catalyst, good advice, and printer of half the prints after I was chased from the U. W.-Madison etching studio. Barb "O Master-Printer" Tetenbaum provided Guidance and use of the Silver Buckle Press. Phuong Nguyen assisted in much of the process. Caryl Herfort showed me how to make paper. My real thanks are to Them. No thanks are to Leerick Ozburn. Of an edition of twenty five this is #10."
