[EKStationers] Coronation

[Lyle FitzWilliam]

Greetings to the List!

I've been remiss!  I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Coronation is almost upon us (April 11), and I have neglected to put out a
call for gifts to Their Majesties and Their Highnesses in the name of the
Company.

For several years, since we were given our Royal Charter, the Worshipful
Company of Stationers of the East Kingdom have given gifts to each pair of
Royalty.  Initially, we gave gifts at Spring Coronation and Twelfth Night.
Last year, we decided to give gifts only at Spring Coronation, to both Their
Majesties and Their Heirs.

We have given gifts of blank books, cards, stationery, and woodblock prints.

These things we have done, though our Charter does not require it.  These
things we have been thanked for.  These gifts we give continue to let the
populace know that we are here.

Please, if anyone would like to give gifts covered by our Charter (book and
book-related arts), please let me know.  Any member of the Company who is at
Coronation is welcome to come forward when we go to present our gifts
(whether we manage to get onto the Court docket or present them while they
are sitting in state).

Who is a member of the Company?  We do not have formal requirements for
membership.  If you have an interest in the book arts (and why else would
you be receiving this missive), you can consider yourself a member.

Regards,
Lyle FitzWilliam
Master of the Worshipful Company of Stationers of the East Kingdom
