Artemio Rodríguez, whose linoleum cuts illustrated the 2013 Taller Martín Pescador edition of Gawain and the Green Knight (long out of print from the publisher) still has a few copies of that much-admired book available at his gallery La Mano Gráfica, in Pátzcuaro, Mexico. His English is excellent, and he can be reached at

>3 gmacaree: I agree. In my top ten currently owned. And that top ten includes editions from Ashendene, Doves, Officina Bodoni, Cresset, etc. It's that impressive.

Bought a copy from Artemio Rodríguez just now – very excited about this. Thanks, >1 letterpressdotcom:, for posting this here!

>6 LBShoreBook: 650 US $. Possibly with free postage. Adjusted for inflation, this is similar to the original price. Bought a copy.

I sent a message via the website a few days ago soon after the post was made but haven't gotten a response yet so people interested may do well to reach out to both lines of communications to ensure they don't miss out. I've just sent an additional separate email to Artemio's email directly.

I believe I obtained his last copy. After dealing with some international wire hiccups it should be on its way shortly. I passed on this one multiple times over the years, given the consistent feedback I thought it worth not passing on this one. Thanks for the heads up.

>10 LBShoreBook: Congrats, he responded to my query 2 weeks later saying there was one left and I replied straight away saying I'd take it, that was 10 days ago; seems you beat me to the mark.

>11 wongie: Sorry to hear that - it took awhile for him to respond to me as well and then awhile to get the international wire sorted.
