In anticipation of the Summer Olympics in Paris this year, I am putting together a photobook of photographs I took during ten days in Paris in 2010. I used a Nikon D90 camera and mostly a super wide-angle lens. The book is available either with or without nine French Journee du Timbre stamps mounted on two cards and tipped into the books. The theme of these postage stamps is French mail transportation.

We at Railway Station Press are hard at work on our second deck of poker sized playing cards. The Kickstarter can be seen HERE.
Above is the Tuck Box for the deck. This is a collaboration between Stuart Bradley, publisher of Railway Station Press, and his sister Artist Jean Bradley. Jean has been painting a series of portraits of American Indians. She has painted over half of the paintings we need to complete this deck of original artwork. Here are some examples of cards:
This is the Queen of Spades card.
This is the six of Diamonds card.
We have a new Kickstarter here that lasts until April 15th. We are trying to raise money to have the 1893 Chicago Midway Playing Cards professionally printed in poker size with rounded corners and custom printed tuck boxes. We are offering some of the limited edition letterpress printed playing cards and history cards.
The companion book will be in color in a 7.5 by 7.5 inch format. It will reproduce the letterpress printed playing cards and the history deck of the Midway. There will also be historic photographs, maps, and additional information about the Midway of the famous 1893 Chicago World’s Fair also known as the Columbian Exposition.
The society dedicated to the collecting of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair memorabilia and historical research has posted a superb write-up of this Kickstarter HERE. They have posted pictures of the BB&S foundry, the newspaper use of these character ornaments, and other background information. Thank you Scott Cummings and Randy Hercey!
Here is the tuck box that the playing cards will come in. The cards have been ordered and will be available mid-April.
