bill, thank you so much for the offer - i fully intend to take you up on it!
the ginsberg project sounds AMAZING - i know what you mean, there's something about a book created by hand that just has very special beauty about it. i'm planning on trying to get some apprentice work with wai-te-ata press once i'm finished with school, and when i come to oakland i'm gonna sign up for classes at the SFCB. i'd really like to find a letterpress printer in the bay area who would be happy to take me on as a part-time apprentice, so i'll need to get to work on that. i'd LOVE to have my own press - but i need to do some research on
the smallest and most affordable presses first, since i really know nothing about it.
also: mr cc at the GPP has asked me to send proofs and budgets once my project is done, because they will consider funding me to actually do the postcards FOR REALZ!
and also: jordan has a beautiful letterpress print of a jim woodring image from
http://www.pressureprinting.com/announce.html
which he should post a photo of here.
