Decade Box

SUTTON HOO PRESS celebrated its first decade of literary fine press publishing by collecting one copy of each book and broadside still in print at the end of 2001. The large clamshell boxes (17"x25"x5") were designed by C. Mikal Oness and built by Judi Conant of Guildhall, VT. Each box contains six interchangeable trays of books and a portfolio of broadsides. In addition to Sutton Hoo Press publications, the box contains collateral issues related to the press, including a few choice books by students of the press and signed copies of books written by C. Mikal Oness and Elizabeth Oness. Only ten boxes exist, and the last ten copies of some issues are only available in the Decade Boxes. Please contact Sutton Hoo for additional details and information.

Issued May 2002. Ten were made; all have been sold.
