The Hand-made Book: Printing and Binding Letterpress

Ever wanted to make your own book? Where do you start? What equipment do you need? Is it even possible?
This workshop shows to how to start with text and design, through printing to binding the final product. You'll see all this done in one weekend and take home a finished book.
The printing section will cover hand type, Monotype, Linotype, plates and digital. Both hand and machine printing will take place on a number of different presses in the WCBA.
Bindings will range from stapled through hand-stitched booklet to hard-case with cover options. Perfect binding (glue machine) will also be demonstrated.
Suggestions for books or booklets to be printed are welcome.
