New Section for AAPA Letterpress Resources

There's a new section on the AAPA's popular "Resources for Letterpress Printers" page. Known as "AAPA Letterpress How-To", it provdes access to articles on letterpress topics written by AAPA members.

AAPA's secretary-treasurer, and publisher of the award-winning journal A Martlet's Tale, John Carvalho describes how to print multiple colors in a single pass in "Split Fountain Madness." John wrote this article for this new section -- in fact, he is the one who came up with the idea of AAPA printers sharing their ideas.

Also new to website is an article originally printed in the May 1978 American Amateur Journalist: J. Hill Hamon's "On Microbibliogenesis." Dr. Hamon describes the steps in printing a miniature book on a table-top press.

Rounding out the initial selections are two pieces from the Sheldon C. Wesson area of AAPA's website: "Color It!" and "Selecting Body Type."

We hope that additional AAPA printers will be inspired to add their own essays to this new "How-To" section of AAPA's Resources for Letterpress Printers.
