Lewis, Sinclair; Minsky, Richard [binder]
First Edition/Unique. Hardcover. "I read it for the first time after the 2016 election, when it garnered a lot of attention and again became a bestseller. My original intention wasn't to do a binding. In the novel the protagonist is a newspaper editor in Vermont. A populist buffoon is elected president of the USA and becomes a demagogue. All laws were made to benefit corporations. . One way of distributing the pamphlets was to surreptitiously insert them into other publications." Lewis' story revolves around "the First Amendment, which is why the protagonist is a newspaper editor. When the Corpos place a supervisor in his office to make sure he only publishes "their" news, he and his friends in the New Underground Resistance steal "an old hand printing-press" from the basement of the newspaper office, and 8-point type, a pocketful at a time. The cover panel of my binding symbolizes what happens when the Corpos discover where Vermont Vigilance is being printed." [Minsky interview] In addition to various other awards over his long career, Minsky recently received the 2017 Guild of Book Workers Lifetime Achievement Award for service to the profession of the book arts. Tight, bright, and unmarred. Alum tawed goatskin, 23K gold stamped spine, panel of pied 8-point type, Minsky's blood and acrylic paint on Vermont Vigilance; a copy of Vermont Vigilance is laid in at the front endpaper [in the novel one way of distributing the pamphlet is by inserting it into other publications]; housed in a dropspine box. 8vo. 416pp.
