Review

"I'm inspired by Reinventing Letter Press [sic], a stylish little book with fabulous printing ideas." -- Pure Style Online (Blog), 15/08/10

"This book pays tribute to all the new companies who have revived the traditional methods and created beautiful paper products...showing samples from each company and explaining how the piece was created." -- Book By Its Cover (Blog), 18/08/10

Product Description

Reinventing Letterpress is a lusciously tactile, desirable, take-anywhere bundle of letterpress work. Letterpress is in the throes of a revival, with designers and creatives of all kinds rediscovering the artistic opportunities this most traditional of printing techniques has to offer. The letterpress look taps into the popularity of the handmade aesthetic, and this book places this revitalized discipline in a modern context, showcasing beautiful examples of contemporary work, and profiling the craft's most exciting practitioners. The book also includes a brief history of the craft and an overview of press set-ups and studios.

S Page - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reinventing Letterpress: Prints by Contemporary Practitioners (Hardcover)

A beautiful and quite inspiring little book full of examples from around the world of stationery and ideas created by the traditional methods of letterpress. It is refreshing to discover in this technology obsessed world that a revival of old-style, and otherwise redundant, machinery is occuring and how so many companies are now using such methods to create products that have a such a wonderfully hand crafted and individual feel. This book is a real treat for anyone who loves typography and design.
