Broadsheets from the bookCelebrate the Art of the broadsheet with Incline Press

Hung out to Dry exhibits sixty-seven broadsheets exploring some of the endless design possibilities of single-sheet printing. Presenting a wide range of typefaces, borders and illustrations, these broadsheets range from the whimsical to the serious, and include more than six years of single sheet printing including poetry, prose and a fair bit of the more interesting jobbing work. Hung out to Dry includes handbills, keepsakes, posters, adverts and pieces printed for the sheer love of printing along with a descriptive text putting the sheets in context, By discussing the design choices we made and identifying the types and the borders, the book works as a type specimen book (over sixty faces shown), a record of six years of thought about typography and design, and a testament to the inspirational effects of ephemera. Printed in an edition of 150 copies in 14 point Garamond on Magnani paper. Thirty specials with an extra section and bound in an Ann Muir marbled paper have sold out, but a few copies of the standard edition remain available for sale at £175.00 or $375.00 (US)
