Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. Wrappers. Edition limited to 300 copies. The first publication of John Randle's Whittington Press was Richard Kennedy's memoir A Boy at the Hogarth Press (1972). Kennedy delivered a fascinating insight into working with Leonard and Virginia Woolf in the 1920s. Paul Wakeman, son of Geoffrey and Frances Wakeman of the Plough Press, Kidlington, went to work for John Randle in March 1986, doing very odd jobs, one moment setting up the Randle Amstrad to print labels, the next applying himself to emergency hand-setting, the next so loading up the Whittington van with keybars that its exhaust scraped the ground. His account of a summer at the Whittington Press is charming and eccentric. When it was over he took a Diploma in Publishing at Watford College of Technology, and in 1988 moved to New Castle, Delaware, to work for Bob Fleck at Oak Knoll.…

With his help Randle ferried car-loads of printing machinery to Whittington. He did not know then that Paul was keeping this diary - it has only recently come to light. The interaction between John and his assistant provides a facsinating counterpoint to the various activities of the press.…
