aliquando press: “the aliquando press continues to produce books and broadsides on a wide range of subjects: music, poetry, and literature, including some bilingual texts. the proprietor delights in performing most bookmaking operations: selecting texts, editing, designing, occasionally writing and illustrating, setting type by hand, printing, and binding. there is a continuing attempt to perfect bookmaking skills through personal involvement with each aspect of the book' s creation, and to try to keep faith with the author' s message. ”

to mark the occasion of aliquando’s 100th book, and will rueter’s 45th year of bookmaking, he chose a meaningful project — the publication of thomas james cobden - sanderson’s diary. cobden - sanderson is the man behind the doves press, and a significant influence on will rueter’s philosophy of bookmaking. as rueter explains ,
aliquando is a private press located in dundas, ontario and it’s proprietor, will rueter, has been bookmaking since december 1962. as a private press proprietor, he takes on all the tasks associated with bringing a text into book form. he selects the text, edits, designs, typesets, prints and binds, and might even do the illustrations as well (rueter 1987). the beauty of aliquando books reflects will rueter’s passions and philosophy about books. he only pursues projects that interest him. his insistence on beauty coupled with his abiding respect for the power and potential of the printed word result in unique projects with striking results .
aliquando press began from an appreciation of books and the desire to learn about book making by doing. rueter became fascinated with books and bookmaking while traveling in britain in the early 1960s, and on returning to canada he studied book design at the ontario college of art (beale 2012). following his studies, he spent a few months in london and amsterdam visiting the monotype corporation and the amsterdam type foundry. from 1969 to 1998 he worked as a book designer with the university of toronto press and worked with the well - known canadian graphic designer allan fleming (beale 2012). while rueter has always pursued his own passions with bookmaking through his own aliquando press, retiring from the university of toronto has allowed him to pursue his interests on a full - time basis .
- william rueter - books - toronto, the aliquando press, william rueter - 1986 - 18 pp. - hardcover in box [ see photos ] - size: 31, 5 x 16 cm. - condition is very good. the aliquando press is a small press book publishing company in canada, owned and operated by william rueter. rueter studied at the ontario college of art and at the city literary institute in london, england. because he controls production, he has been able to experiment freely with book design, calligraphy, hand - setting of type, printing and book - binding. he has worked as a designer for the university of toronto press, and was a founding member of the society of canadian book designers. the press' work has been shown in north america and japan and is included in public and private collections in north american and europe, including the toronto, new york and san francisco public libraries, the college of william & mary in williamsburg, the british library and the museum van het boek in the hague.

[ in fawn ] aliquando press devise [ in black ] this book has been produced during the fortieth anniversary of the | aliquando press, at a time when the insanity of the ‘savage wars of peace’ | continues, and when garshin’s text has never been more relevant. | its creation is the result of collaboration with four dear fiends: stan bevington, | dave farey, nancy jacobi, and henry schogt. the text is set in | rueter, a digital typeface designed for the press by dave farey, and here | used for the first time. other types are neuland, antique tuscan no. 9, | and an unidentified sans serif wood type. stan bevington created the digi - | tal art and the text was printed by offset at coach house printing. the | letterpress printing was done at the aliquando press by william rueter, | who also designed and bound the book. the papers are hahnemühle | bugra from nancy jacobi’s japanese paper place. all this is possible | because of henry schogts masterful translation. | sixty copies were produced in november 2003, of which this copy | is number [ in holograph ] 28
on thursday, march 21 st, 2013, the alcuin society will present their sixth award for lifetime achievement in the book arts, the robert r. reid award and medal, to william rueter, of aliquando press. he will be interviewed by rollin milroy, of heavenly monkey (vancouver), accompanied by illustrations of rueter’s work .
when i first encountered the excitement and beauty of printed books in the early 1960s, the austere elegance of doves press books was a tremendous influence on the establishment and direction of the aliquando press. here was a printer for whom the text meant everything, and he presented it to the reader in the most direct way possible. i feel great empathy for cobden - sanderson’s serious, passionate dedication to the making of books. his belief in bookmaking almost as an act of redemption continues to affect me deeply. (milroy, 2 )
the text is set in bembo, a classic bookmaker’s font. it was the first font which aliquando press acquired back in 1962, and rueter spent the first couple of years working with this one font, mastering how various techniques of printing could create different effects (beale, 2012). 100 copies of the book were printed in august 1982, and this copy on display is number 60 .
will include journal entries relating to cobden - sanderson 's experiences as an outstanding bookbinder and proprietor of the doves press. cobden - sanderson operated one of the most influential private presses of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and its standards of quality of the doves press have influenced commercial and private presses for a century .

during the past five or six years i have recorded some of the most appealing of the aphorisms displayed on the inglis billboard and i have added a few anonymous texts from other sources. the folk at inglis are to be congratulated on their sense of responsibility to the public by presenting texts that offer a moral code and remind us of our fragile humanity .

this book was printed in 1982, but the essay was first published in 1976 as part of a portfolio (reuter, 1982). the size, the paper, the colour and the ornaments work together to manifest the premise of this essay beautifully. the essay itself provides insight into the profession (or obsession ?) with bookmaking. rueter acknowledges that the work of a private press is usually not rewarded well financially. however, he illuminates the rewards of his profession in this booklet as follows :
will' s press has allowed him to develop his skills in book design, calligraphy, hand - setting of type, printing and book - binding. because he controls all aspects of production, he has been able to experiment freely with letterforms, printers' ornaments, formats, coloured ink, and decorative papers. some of his books and broadsides also contain his own initial letters and illustrations, done as linocuts and wood engravings. for others, he has commissioned wood - engraved illustrations from canadian and dutch artists .
will rueter’s journey to bookmaking began from a love of books, however, his approach to the philosophy behind the process and design of books have been influenced by several factors. though not to be overstated, it is interesting to note that his great - grandfather was a lithographer in amsterdam, and his grandfather also worked in design. his great uncle, george rueter, designed the binding paper (c. 1900) that was used for majesty, order and beauty. it would seem that a propensity for design is a family tradition. however, other influences on the development of his design style are the work done by advertising agencies in the 1960s. in particular he references the designs coming from new york, especially the work of lou dorfsman and saul bass (beale 2012). in terms of canadian influences, the work of stan bevington at coach house press, especially bevington’s willingness to experiment, made him an important contemporary (beale 2012). rueter was influenced by the dynamic period of graphic design and typography style of the 1960s–‘80s, however, his commitment to the role of the bookmaker is in keeping with the tradition of thomas james cobden - sanderson. rueter believes ,

[ t ] he responsibility to keep faith with an author’s text and attempt to clothe it in appropriate form is a continuing challenge, but my delight in using beautiful materials and handling magnificent letterforms remains a constant element. there are few activities as satisfying as the making of books. (rueter, 2008 )
four days illustrates will rueter’s commitment to his ideals of beauty and process in bookmaking. the products that he uses in this book reflect his commitment to using the best available material, as evidenced by his choice of paper and binding. while rueter often takes on all tasks with a project, this book was a collaborative effort. he worked with the translator henry schogt. stan bevington of coach house created the digital art .
the paper was selected from nancy jackobi’s japanese paper place, while the woodcuts are his own work. the choice of paper texture and color provide a complimentary feeling to the text. this is echoed again in the texture of the binding. the use of darker colours in the woodcuts, and the woodcuts themselves all lend feelings of drama and austerity appropriate to a text that explores the experience of a wounded soldier trapped for four days on a battlefield with the body of an enemy soldier he had killed .
majesty, order and beauty is a striking book and one cannot help but approach it with a degree of reverence. the five illustrated pages and the six woodcuts by rueter are complimented by a dramatic use of colour. the illustrations are printed on handmade yuki gampi paper and this choice suggests delicacy and translucence. one cannot help but marvel at the pages and how they convey a sense of simplicity, order and beauty .
