Gingko Press, the small publisher that issued Jean Holabird’s VN-inspired illustrations on synesthesia in Alphabet in Color (2006), is planning a new VN-related title. It is a so-called “facsimile” edition of John Shade’s note-card manuscript for Pale Fire, with introductory essays by R.S. Gwynn and Brian Boyd. (See NABOKV-L, 23 April.) “The book is currently in the design stage”, a Gingko representative says. He reports no title or tentative publication date yet.

A “facsimile” of the index cards for the poem “Pale Fire” were included with the edition of Pale Fire put out by Arion Press about 1994 (a beautiful book). Does anybody have any sense as to whether the new effort by Gingko Press to create the note cards will (or would) be likely to produce anything new or different from that? What do people expect? .

Thanks for pointing out the Arion Press printing of Pale Fire and its separate oblong binding of the “index cards” as part of the publication. I should have mentioned it. Since Gingko Press work is still designing the book and much has not been finalized yet between Dmitri Nabokov and the publisher, it is impossible to know what we will see when it is finally issued.
