Fresh, raw milk is hard to come by in this day & age of homogenized, pasteurized same old, same old. Heterogeneously composed of nutrifying poetic proteins, glamourous grammatical butterfats, & the ever inscrutable lactase chain, The Book of Milk expresses both surface tension and the undulating convection currents below. The Book of Milk (or The Mammolactogogery) is narrated by a truth-seeking trout named Henry who fell into a bucket of this quintessentially mammalian concoction on his way to delivering the morning paper. Lactose intolerant readers should not be dismayed, you too can have a mystical moment with a glass of human kindness.

The Book of Milk
Text and Images by Karen Pava Randall
The Book of Milk was printed in an edition of twenty by Karen Pava Randall at Wild Carrot Letterpress in Hadley, Massachusetts. The Ehrhardt and Gill Sans type was cast by Michael Bixler in Skaneateles, New York. The images were printed from linoleum, polymer plates, metal type, plank and end-grain wood. The papers are Japanese; the text paper is Tanbo and the covers are Kozo Kochi. These have, in turn, been reconstituted into book form by Sarah Creighton in Easthampton, Massachusetts.
The edition is 20. $1000
