What a find! March 14, 2008
I’m always looking online for letterpress equipment for sale. I think it’s a sickness all letterpress printers have. I was searching my local Craigslist, and happened to find this book press listed for $200. Since I don’t “need” a book press, I just let it go and did not purchase it. A week later, it was listed at $50 (the man selling it was moving out of the country and didn’t want to ship it, who can blame him?) and at that price who can say no? I definitely could not so, to my collection I now have a book press. This will come in handy when I am gilding.
What I beauty! I’ve been using stacks of Art History books!
