Only 100 copies left — price increases May 1
Hand-numbered. Limited to 250. This is your last window at $18.95.
Sesquipedalian Rain Chant — the debut by Brooks Lampe and the first-ever publication from Ink & Ribbon Press — is now in hand. Fresh off the press. Being individually numbered, one by one, this week.
And we’re nearing the edge.
Only ~100 copies remain.
The Offer (Ending Soon)
From now until April 30, you can still secure a copy at the pre-order price of $18.95.
After that, the price moves to its retail:
$24.95
This is not a marketing tactic — it’s simply the reality of the economics and the object itself.

Why This Matters
We are only printing 250 copies. Ever.
No reprints. No second runs.
Each book is:
Hand-numbered
Carefully produced as a physical artifact
Designed to endure — not circulate endlessly
This is how we publish: fewer books, made with care, intended to last.
What You’re Holding
This is:
The first book in the history of Ink & Ribbon Press
The debut collection of a remarkable poet
A collector’s object from day one
And more than that:
Every purchase directly supports the next poet.
Ink, paper, binding—yes.
But also: opportunity, discovery, continuation.
The Reality
We’re already seeing strong momentum. Copies are moving quickly.
When this sells out, it’s gone.
No warehouse. No “back in stock.” No algorithm bringing it back to you later.
Secure Your Copy
If you’ve been considering it, this is the moment.
→ Pre-order now at $18.95 before April 30
After that, the price increases and the remaining copies will be fewer.
If you believe books should still be made this way—
with weight, intention, and permanence—
this is your invitation.
