I am pleased to announce that Emily Hancock, extraordinary letter press printer and proprietor of St. Brigid Press, is hand-setting a small broadside of one of my Chinese adaptations.
It will be available in August as a fundraising premium for a non-profit press (more details about that later), and the remainder will be offered for sale in September.
They do beautiful work. very nice

Operating a operating a printing press would be a unique experience. I had a chance to buy one a few years back. It was affordable, but I had no place to put it. 😦

It would, indeed. I considered buying one many years ago, but realized that I didn’t possess the requisite patience. Now that I have the patience, I haven’t the time. Sigh.
