The Farouche Assemblage
The Farouche Assemblage, a short story by Matt Hughes, was the fourth chapbook created and published by my small press, Payseur & Schmidt.

I designed the book interior and cover. The text block was printed on a Xerox machine using quality paper. The resulting pages were hand-trimmed and bound by myself using a friend's perfect binding machine. The cover was screen printed in 3 colors at my former screen printing shop (Patent Pending Press) and hand-trimmed by myself and Therese Littleton to fit the profile of Jason Van Hollander's head illustrations. For the limitation page, I designed a paste-in strip that was signed by Matt Hughes, stamped over with a custom-designed stamp, and adorned with Therese Littleton's thumbprint. 125 copies were printed and hand assembled.

The Farouche Assemblage is sold out but you can learn more about the project at the Payseur & Schmidt website.
