Memento Mori: Memento Vivere [Design Binding].
Oldham: Incline Press, 2023. Limited Edition. Hardcover. "Remember you will die, and therefore remember to live".
"In April 2020, Kathleen Whalen, erstwhile publisher at the Incline Press, succumbed to the cancer that had stalked her for nine years. She was survived by her partner in printing and in life, Graham Moss, who set out to memorialise and celebrate the life of this librarian, printer, and bibliophile in the most appropriate manner imaginable. The result is Memento Mori : Memento Vivere, a book published by Moss’ Incline Press in 2023. The title, which embodies the economy so characteristic of Latin, can be read as ‘remember that you will die, and therefore remember to live’." [Summary by UBB]
