The Last Press of C. Mikal Oness and Elizabeth Oness, based in rural Minnesota, is a literary fine press producing limited editions of poetry and prose. Their publications are hand-made and hand printed on their own presses.
They issue a series of concertina-fold pamphlets under the title Quire, ‘a term used to describe a gathering of loose sheets of paper folded into a section of a book or manuscript.’
Quire no 19, just published, is my one thousand words short story ‘Qx’, about book-collectors and chess players in a café on a rainy February day. It is printed in Perpetua on Somerset paper in an edition of 60 copies, price $12. This is its first separate print publication.
Also available from the press in a similar edition, ‘The Mask of Andreas Germer’ by Ron Weighell (Quire no 13, Christmas Ghost Story Edition).
Update: for orders outside the USA, please contact the publisher at chad[at]thelastpress[dot]com
