Daniel Williams‘ “Missing letters” is an excellent work: a whole alphabet of lipograms, each story omitting a letter of the alphabet. “Letterpress [n]” is one of these.

This edition presents “Letterpress [n]” a hand-sewn eight-page pamphlet, in an edition of 90. The cover is printed with letterpress and screenprint. The insides of the book are typeset by hand and printed by hand.
