Cool letterpress site

The website of Briar Press, "an educational and practical resource for
the letterpress printer, the bibliophile, the enthusiast, and the
curious," includes a virtual museum of "204 hand-operated
printing presses," a letterpress glossary, and a directory listing more
than 500 small presses, suppliers, educational institutions, and others
in the "letterpress community."

Thank you. I love the site. I know I am greedy, do you have more of
these little gems?

I happened upon the Briar Press site while looking for information about
Timothy Hawley, a fine-press printer now based in Lexington, KY, who is
of interest to me because, when he lived in St. Louis, his Contre Coup
Press published a book I just acquired: _Why I Live Where I Live_ by
Stanley Elkin, 1 of 30 copies total, all signed by the author & printer.
Hawley is also infamous for offering "bibliocadavers"--books produced
using paper that incorporates the ashes of your cremated loved one:

There are lots of interesting book sites; here's a page that's nothing
but links: http://www.geocities.com/albertmaste...sontheweb.html
I'm sure there must be one or two pages listed there that you'll find
worthwhile.
