Read MoreThe Selkirk Grace is so called because Lord Selkirk paid for the meal; and that gives a nice twist of meaning to the last line! The other eight lines are recent, an addition from the poet Richard Medrington when reading the Grace for a Burns Supper several years ago. Found in the Scottish Poetry Library, so my thanks to him, and to them.
Read MoreI hold no interest in boxing; the very idea of two people being paid to beat each other up seems to me to be barbaric. It is an unfortunate fact of history that the boxers are usually impoverished, and their managers are rich. But this I have printed because Bill Richmond was the first black sporting celebrity in this country, and thus his tale is worth knowing.

A celebratory book was called for, so I turned to Pauline Paucker’s excellent New Borders, which we published in 1999 for some detalis of her life. We have a few sizes of Elizabeth type, a few of our 1999 magnesium plates and sourced some of her original Curwen patterned papers. The result is Elizabeth at Eighty offered at a pre-publication price until the end of June.
