This is lovely - St Brigid’s Press on the ecology of craft stbrigidpress.net/blog/the-e…

If you teach or study #HistoryOfTheBook, I cannot recommend this enough. It’s really helping me think through the different functions—social, economic, legal, aesthetic, etc.—each part of a book performs. Looking forward to reports from my 15 students on 15 different parts!
Members receive a copy as part of their membership. Non-members will be able to purchase Bookbinder #33 and back issues through hewitonline.com/category_s/5…

On 3/12 Mark Evans and Ken Burnley will be talking about The Brunswick Prison Camp Map Printers – the incredible tale of how a clandestine press was made and run by a group of men in a WW2 German prisoner of war camp in order to mass produce escape maps.
