Tak Tanabe was a good friend of Bill's and over the years he designed bookmarks, invitations and other ephemera - (including the very handsomely produced Klanak Press books which were published by Duthie’s lawyer, William McConnell), and printed them in many colours on his own hand press.
Over the 53 years of book selling Duthies produced over 20 million bookmarks by many different artists, designers, typographers, and printers, from the fine hand presswork of Tak Tanabe and Barbarian Press to enormous runs of 200,000 at our sainted printer, Don Atkins.
A collection of them - 'Duthie's Bookmarks' - has been handsomely published by The Alcuin Society, designed and produced by Robert Reid.
