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." http://www.briarpress.org/briarpress/index.shtml --Jon Meyers |

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: http://tinyurl.com/lwjxm 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. --Jon Meyers |
