Designed and produced entirely by hand, A Dog & His Boy reflects the start of the press’s interest in traditional letterpress printing and fine press craftsmanship. The collaboration pairs Chris Offutt’s text with illustrations by Kathy Sheehan in one of the most ambitious hand-set productions issued by the press at the onset of its second Arizona period.
