    Default book of current letterpress printers (using Vandercooks)

    for those who have interest in what people are doing these days with hand-cranked Vandercook letterpresses. (mostly U.S. based)

    I haven't yet sprung for a copy but looks pretty good.

    KIck me if this is drifting your thread, but this is the site of a local guy who does some pretty hands on work. I cannot say that I know him well, but I hhave heard him speak a couple of time and he seems like a good guy who is down with handmade. He has two sites, one is for his press works, the other is for his book authoring stuff.
