The Posters
It's become a biennial tradition to ask great designers to create a poster for Field-Tested Books.
)
This year we were very fortunate to have John Solimine of Spike Press create a special, limited-edition, silkscreened poster to accompany the feature. You can see what he's come up with here. The actual poster is 18" x 24," printed in four colors on 100lb French Construction White Wash and would look swell at your summer house, or at your regular home this summer. The edition is just 400, and 100 have already been promised to reviewers and "Blind Faith" buyers, so they're going fast!
