The Books: in this pack


PaCT: A Journey Beyond the Horizon is authored and designed by is PRESS publisher Peter Miles Bergman. is PRESS, 1st edition 2022, Edition of 303 – signed and numbered. Denver, Colorado.

PaCT: A Journey Beyond the Horizon is a 264 page, 6.5 x 9″ perfect bound book. PaCT documents a 23 year, two-part journey with this 263 page art-book and memoir, a photo-animated flip book, with photos by Dylan Kuhn, and a zine – all by Peter Miles Bergman.

In 1996 at the age of 23, Peter and Dylan Kuhn set out to hike the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. Burned out, injured, and broke after 90 days and 1,700 miles they quit in Oregon with a pact to return for the remaining 900 miles when they were twice as old. In 2019 they reconvened at 46 to reflect on life’s journey, and race increasingly threatening storms towards Canada.

Part travelogue and part memoir, this expressively designed book weaves three non-linear text threads together into a portrait of an artist coming of age, drifting waywardly into middle age, and the profound friendship that kept him focused on staying sane, and getting sober, in order to complete their pact. 

PaCT: A Journey Beyond the Horizon is digitally printed at Turbo Press, Denver, CO on two alternating paper stocks signifying the different eras of the story: French 80# parchtone paper for 1996 and 100# uncoated white digital Cougar paper for 2019. The covers are a 2-color letterpress printed by the author / designer on a Chandler and Price Letterpress at is PRESS, Denver, CO.


PaCT: A Journey Across Time is authored and designed by is PRESS publisher Peter Miles Bergman with photography by Dylan Kuhn. is PRESS, 1st edition 2020, (first offered for sale 2022) Edition of 303 – signed and numbered. Denver, Colorado.

PaCT: A Journey Across Time is a 266 page, 2.5 x 6.5 x 1.5″ thick perfect bound photo-animated flip book. 

The animation is of a lone figure stopping to pause for a snapshot before tossing a graduation cap, and instantaneously changing into a suit while 1,700 miles across California race by behind him followed by with the same figure – 23 years older – pausing before waving and walking off into the distance as 900 miles of Oregon and Washington race by. Opposite pages from the photos show the location where the photo was taken on stylized black and white maps.
