"Part travel diary, part cultural anthropology, part philosophical musing, part poetic digression, The Itinerant Printer book is a series of interconnected yet independent vignettes that tell the story of two and a half years on the road visiting letterpress shops throughout America & Canada. The large-format, hardcover book comprises over 300 pages and over 1,500 photos from the 2015-17 journey. This is the ultimate index of this printing adventure, the culmination of all the miles, all the ink, all the paper, all the type, and the blood, sweat, and tears"--author's website, viewed December 13 2018.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great book! submitted by Nehemiah9 on August 20, 2022, 4:03pm The author takes a cross country road trip to visit a few dozen letterpress print shops with lots of great images. It's a monster of a coffee table book for those who have a love of printing.
