Many from private collections, and many rescued from library book sales. It all started around 1990 with FUNGUS THE BOGEYMAN, really, the day we went to check it out and the copy had been stolen. We discovered that books could be found and purchased worldwide and the rest is history. Here at The M.A.D. House Artists we have more books NOT listed than listed, but we are working on reversing that. Feel free to ask. We are more than happy to search the shelves. Our collection started with our own books, parents' books, grandparents' books and has grown for the past thirty years into an online book store. It is our conviction that there are simply no books worth sending to the recycling, so our offerings range widely from the rare and perfect collectable volume to the acceptable well-read copy, in the hope that the words printed will not be lost. Dennis enjoys the shopping. Candace does most everything else. We are interested in everything, and our collection reflects the description given us by our son, The Grand Lake Artistic Chaos Foundation. 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 Featured Items Terms of Sale Paypal preferrred.

Network at Fifty, by Norman Corwin. Two trial copies designed & printed by Ward Richie PRICE $ 200.00 PURCHASE / MORE INFO View Member Profile A wide-ranging, sometimes surreal poem of human activity, our place in the universe, the future, and the Cyclops that translates it all for humanity. "Cyclops" is a metaphor for the "eye" logo of CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System, and the poem was written for the 50th anniversary of the company. An excerpt of a televised walk in space and a walk on the moon: "No eye has roved like the video eye / Away and beyond the reach of earth / Out to the moon and onto it / Footprints in the primordial dust, umbilical walks in the deeps of space, / Sprayed on the tube in front of the chair or up on the wall in the bedroom." TWO COPIES of the book , both having the foreword by Robert Nathan, and both printed on loose leaves, folded once. Copy One is complete with all leaves tucked, unbound, into cream, brown, and blue French-flapped Cockerell and Son marbled paper wraps. A paper CBS “eye” logo label is applied to the front. 18 pp. Copy Two has no wraps, is marked "trials" in pencil at the head of the title page, unbound, and is partial, having 4 pages of the 7-page poem. Pagination is different from the complete copy, with the title page being a self-wrap. 12 pp. Both copies were obtained together, neither is signed, and are possibly trials or proofs for the author or printer. From a limited edition of 50, commissioned by the Invierno Press, and printed by the great designer and printer Ward Richie under his imprint Laguna Verde Imprenta. Richie had retired from commercial printing and design at The Ward Ritchie Press, so he and his wife Marka moved to their summer house. Since he had retired, Richie, of course, had an 1835 Albion hand press moved into their house and began printing this and other books for his own pleasure. Although not stated, the book's design is by Richie with the title page's 3-color illustration in a style reminiscent of other title pages designed by him. At once these are poetry, an oblique tribute to broadcasting history, and examples of Ward Richie's fine printing and design. Both are clean, sharp, and in Fine Condition.
