Yesterday was a busy day in our reading room. We had researchers looking at lettering for jewellery design, flongs, some of our Caslon punches and some lovely wood type specimens!

📷 Rough week fighting a water leak in the shop (only paper harmed) and a virus (not Covid, but similar charms). What felt manageable was to finish cleaning and sorting this 72 point Cooper @artsandcraftspress passed along before moving to... tmblr.co/Z_eHlwcadDMf8m00

📷 An editioned artist book I made in 2017, a farce still sadly relevant. The historic images dissolve to reveal Trump’s own quotes. #artistbooks #letterpress #metaltype #lockhimup (at Tacoma, Washington)... tmblr.co/Z_eHlwcUT57BCa00
📷 While we still have to finish a bit of printing and binding, @kerri.cushman and I are grateful for the opportunity to have worked intensely at @interoceanstudio. We were inspired by both Ray Tomasso’s collection of vintage signs and wood... tmblr.co/Z_eHlwcTyHELSW00

📷 Happy to see some ink on paper which @kerri.cushman made in record time. The gorgeous 6-line wood type is from the collection at @interoceanstudio. I’m very fond of these circular magnets also in the collection (which @gazelle_n_goat... tmblr.co/Z_eHlwcShs2VOm00
📷 Everything here is super sized from the type to this Vandercook 325G. Definitely feeling Ray Tomasso’s big energy! First test on handmade paper. #woodtype #letterpress #bookarts (at Englewood, Colorado)... tmblr.co/Z_eHlwcSEtbqSq00
📷 Another very special guest in the shop, @paige_pettibon is working on an artist’s book for the “Changing the Conversation” exhibit at @collinsunbound. The title blocks were typeset and printed on handmade cedar paper. For the Lushootseed... tmblr.co/Z_eHlwcPLAKlae00
📷 Many thanks @tradecraftpress for these lovely ombre ornaments from Keystone Foundry. They added just the right spice to these business cards. (at Tacoma, Washington) instagram.com/p/CgX_VlzJKKT/… tmblr.co/Z_eHlwcLZppkeq00

📷 Getting type high on the 4th of July, with linocut by @yoshi.nakagawa36. Better to print than a faux freedom fair. (at Tacoma, Washington) instagram.com/p/CfmRLN_pq0H/… tmblr.co/Z_eHlwcFM2X0Cq00
