2009
In 2009 we released our most elaborate and beautiful book to date, Regina Granne's Increments: Drawings, 1970-1995, and continued to produce and sell copies of earlier titles, including the second edition of Anthony Grafton's Codex in Crisis. Thanks to an army of generous volunteers, total production topped five hundred copies for the third straight year.
In May, The Crumpled Press hosted a discussion with Regina Granne against a backdrop of selected drawings on display at the A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn. "Precisely situated in undelineated seas of space, Granne's forms feel at once boldly declarative and alarmingly precipitous, shifting meditations on perception, object, image, and transience," wrote Emily Warner in the online journal Art Critical. Reviewing a group exhibition at the Williamsburg Art and Historical Center in March, the blog Lucid Culture said that Granne, "undoubtedly had no intent to steal the show but she does."
Codex in Crisis continued to be our best seller. The book was reviewed by Julie Melby on the blog of the Princeton University Graphic Arts Collection and by Caleb Crain as part of his "End-of-the-Book Reading List" at Steamboats Are Ruining Everything. You can see Grafton speak about the book at Google in New York.
In November, The Crumpled Press had a table at the annual Leiden Book Arts Fair, sponsored by the Dutch printers' association Drukwerk in de Marge.
"Rather than perishing, The Crumpled Press is flourishing," wrote Melissa F. Pheterson in the April issue of the University of Chicago Magazine.
During the year, Crumpled Press books were added to the excellent selection at University Press Books in Berkeley, Spoonbill and Sugartown in Brooklyn, Politics and Prose in Washington, DC, and Athenaeum, the Amsterdam bookseller.
