This amazing event was held at the San Francisco Center for the Book recently. Our letterpress class from Foothill College went as a field trip. It looked like so much fun that several of us in the Foothill Printmakers group are planning to participate next year. Here's the URL for the relevant page on the Center's site:  http://www.sfcb.org/html/roadworks.html.

Also, since there's been discussion of etching presses lately, someone on the east coast may be interested in the following posting from the Book_Arts-L listserv.

I'm posting this on behalf of a friend of mine in Pikesville, Maryland

(a suburb of Baltimore). She is selling her etching press: The

Elephant Press, hydraulically operated, bed size 24"x48"; lower roller

7" diameter, upper roller 5" diameter; removable rust proof steel top,

welded steel base; can be dismantled for transportation. She is asking

$3000. If you are interested, you can contact her directly - her name

is Millie Isaacs, her email address is mil-mar@comcast.net.

Thanks,

Shireen
