Holloway; a book.
I have been working for some time on a book with the writers Robert Macfarlane and Dan Richards. It is the considered result of a journey the three of us made last September, into the half-forgotten wilds of southern Dorset, where the sea is visible between the steep green flanks of the limestone hills and sudden fogs can disorientate the visitor, where roads become lanes that become tracks that become holloways, rain and foot-worn channels hidden beneath wild roofs of oak and thorn.
We are only making 277 copies, as that is the height in metres above sea level of Pilsdon Pen, the mist-shrouded ancient hillfort where we began our peregrinations. The type has been cast by Richard Lawrence from molten lead, using a 1956 Monotype caster. We aim, we hope, we half-promise, to have produced this book by the first day of July, 2012. We also intend to have 27 copies bound by very special methods and then encased within a slipcase, although this will inevitably take longer. Details about the book are given below. A website for the book is in preparation, and more information will follow ‘in the fullness of time’.
