the next book from Temporary Culture is in the bindery and publication details will be announced next week :

A Melville Census. John Marr & Timoleon. With a note by Henry Wessells.

Edition of 52 copies, designed and printed by hand by Jerry Kelly, forthcoming late autumn 2024.

This is just what it sounds like : a report on the location of all known copies of Herman Melville’s John Marr (1888) and Timoleon (1891), the two last books of poems (each printed in editions of 25 copies), with a note about Maurice Sendak, Bill Reese, and others. Of the copies printed, 26 lettered copies are for presentation. Subscription details will be announced when a firm date can be set for publication day.
