The Book of Ruth for you to own

We are so excited to announce that the facsimile of The Book of Ruth is available to purchase online. It is positively radiant and came out just the way we envisioned.

There are 16 pages in the book with one color photograph on the front cover. It is signed by both of us on the inside of the back cover.

When the book is closed it is 8.5"x11" and when it is open it is 17"x11". The cover is printed on 110# watercolor cover and the inside pages are printed on 80# watercolor text. It was expertly scanned and printed by the McGreevy ProLab and ProPress.

(Copies are also available at The Paper Sparrow in downtown Troy in conjunction with our exhibit "Photographs by Laura Glazer with Works by Phillip Patterson" which is on view through July 23, 2010. See post below for more details.)

Opening reception

The opening reception at The Paper Sparrow was great and talking to everyone was even greater. We never got tired of signing copies of our new book. (It's a very beautiful facsimile of The Book of Ruth.

Extra volume

Had a peasant surprise with volume three. It accidentally contained one book too many. Needless to say, adjustments have been made and I find myself ahead of the game. The index is finished and the pages are waiting to be trimmed. In the meantime I thought I'd do a special edition of Ruth. PP

Indexing volume three

I'm organizing the index for the completion of the writing on volume three, (ending with Job). In some ways it's the best part of the project because I get to revisit all those characters, both sinister and noble, that always treat me like a well remembered friend. PP
