Bound with a self-closing, two-fold cover of black Japanese silk with shell clasp. Title of book stamped in silver foil on spine. Signed and numbered by Kanner. The Melville Press: "Originally published in the 'A Prospect of the Sea' in 1939, 'In the Direction of the Beginning' is a powerful prose poem of love and the sea. Dylan Thomas' imagery is pointedly black and white, so follows the book's design. "Catherine Kanner has designed the edition on a generous scale
The shell pin was designed by the artist, and manufactured in Asia. For this edition, Ms. Kanner has created nine new images printed letterpress by Lawrence Van Velzer of Foolscap Press from her original linoleum blocks. The text, which holds to a central point on each page suggest the ocean's horizon. Typeface is Centaur; a refined font with enough substance to hold up the bold black and white prints. The paper is Pescia 100% cotton mould-made, dampened before printing to aid in accepting the large inked areas of the images. The book was bound by Peggy Gottheld of Foolscap Press, and was hand sewn to allow the prints to cross the central gutter of the book without interruption.
