[Stockholm: Midnight Paper Sales, 2000. First edition limited to 166 copies, this one of 26 lettered copies signed by Schanilec on the limitation page [letter C] and specially bound in quarter leather, spine gilt, in a clamshell box along with a portfolio containing 45 additional ephemeral pieces printed by Mr. Wulling; folio, pp. 71, [4]; illustrated throughout with 24 facsimiles, woodcuts, ink-jet reproductions, ephemera, and 7 color wood-engravings by the artist-printer, Gaylord Schanilec. Introduction by Rob Rulon-Miller and with a check-list by him of better than 270 books, chapbooks, broadsides, etc. printed by Emerson Wulling at his Sumac Press in both Minneapolis and La Crosse, Wisconsin. The text proper consists of a 2-part interview conducted by Schanilec and Rulon-Miller with Emerson Wulling in 1995 and 1999. Wulling, who began printing in 1916 and continued to print into the 21st century, printed longer than any printer before him - 87 years in all - a record, of sorts, which quite probably will never be broken. Quarter to Midnight A.199.a.
