Recently added to our collection is an assortment of Sherlock Holmes parodies, Turlock Loams, and miscellaneous writings by John Ruyle. These little gems (some are literally tiny at 3x3 inches) are hand-set, printed letter press, and hand bound by Ruyle's Pequod Press in Berkeley, California. A fun study in handmade/hand-pressed books.
