FEATURED BOOKS

When I Was an Art Student was published in an edition of 126 copies printed letterpress on handmade Alcantara papers. A self-portrait by the author is reproduced as a frontispiece to the edition. One hundred copies are numbered and bound in boards covered in blue Richard de Bas handmade papers and twenty-six copies are lettered and bound in handprinted fabric backed boards and enclosed in a slipcase. This is #33 of 100.

As William Burroughs has noted, “Denton Welch makes the reader aware of the magic that is right under his eyes.” The story relates to Denton’s days as a student in London and clearly conveys his passion for life and the extraordinary powers of observation that permeate all of his writing.
