Devil's Artisan Magazine - FALL/WINTER 2012

In this issue

“A Memoir of Richard Landon, King of Books” is presented by Carl Spadoni, the former director of archives and research collections at McMaster University Library, Hamilton, Ontario.

D. I. Brown contributes "A Brief History of Alphabet Magazine". Alphabet, a little magazine created, edited and published by James Reaney (1926 – 2008), from its first issue in September 1960 until a final combined issue 18/19 in 1971, must be seen as one of the great magazines in the literary history of Canada. It can also be seen as an integral part of Reaney’s work.

The Rogues' Gallery considers and re-examines the American years, mistrial and doubtful conviction of Louis Riel.

Richard Kegler is the founder and primary designer at P22 Type Foundry in Buffalo, New York. He is also the founder of the Western New York Book Arts Center, and the director of the film Making Faces: Metal Type in the 21st Century (2011), which documented the working processes of Jim Rimmer. Introducing Rimmer Pro is the first in a new Devil’s Artisan feature.

Kandid Kamera follows the exploits of Gaspereau Press publisher Andrew Steeves as he moved a LinoType, a VanderCook and 600 cases of wood type from Glenn Goluska’s studio in Montreal to their new home in Kentville, Nova Scotia.
