A bibliography of the Auerhahn Press & its successor Dave Haselwood Books. Compiled by a printer
Berkeley: Poltroon Press, [1976]. Somewhat less than 500 copies printed on a variety of presses (colophon), 26 of which have been "grangerized" with Auerhahn ephemera (not here); 8vo, pp. [2], 87, [3]; illustrations and facsimiles throughout; decorative blue silkscreen cloth over boards, printed paper label on spine; fine. From the library of Allan Kornblum, poet, fine press printer, and publisher who founded Coffee House Press. This copy inscribed in pencil by Johnston: "For Allan & Cinda Kornblum, yrs. Alastair Johnston. 'You'll wonder where the yellow went / when you brush your teeth with wet cement'." This is a reference, no doubt, to Kornblum's Toothpaste Press, a letterpress operation which he operated in West Branch, Iowa, and later in Saint Paul, Minnesota from 1970 to the early 1980s.
