Edition of 6 numbered copies. Each paper sample is housed in a numbered handmade paper sleeve along with a description of how the sample was made. "... In 2020, while searching through our shop for samples of overruns and ephemera to include in our book 'Evidence: Overruns and Ephemera,' we came across a large box with multiple examples of our earliest handmade papers. ... There was enough to make six sets of samples, so we committed to making an edition of six, each with 45 different examples of paper we made between 1975 and 2000. Each sample is placed within a folder, along with a printed description of how the paper was made or the technical improvements that were required to make it." --Foreword. "This print on demand book was created to accompany a portfolio of 46 paper samples made by Peter and Donna Thomas between 1974 and 2017. Peter and Donna want to thank Gary Young for his editorial assistance. Book layout was done by Julia Warner using digital Goudy Modern and Neuland types provided by the P22 Type Foundry. Six numbered copies were made for the portfolios. Additional copies were made for distribution to institutions and collectors interested in learning more about Peter and Donna's papermaking odyssey" --Colophon. Special Collections has numbered copy 4/6, signed by the papermakers. IaU
