For the Love of Letterpress: A Printing Handbook for Instructors and Students

For the Love of Letterpress includes an updated gallery of contemporary images of letterpress printing, as well as a new chapter of letterpress assignments from the United States, United Kingdom and Europe. Both additions attest to the dynamic and continued relevance of the media . The authors show how contemporary digital processes have expanded the boundaries of traditional letterpress . By writing with passion and experience, they indicate why a 15th‑century printing technology based upon crafting with one's hands still has appeal and value to 21st‑century artists and designers . Whether incorporated into an academic curriculum or used for self‑study, For the Love of Letterpress is a must for students who wish to learn letterpress and instructors seeking inspiration and reference.
