We went West to the Printers Fair in California!

It took us almost three weeks to select, clean, gather, wrap, box and pack up a little more than 1,000 lbs. of type, plates (plus a variety of "one-of-a-kind" items). And as usual, a heaping table full of supplies for the working printer for this weekend’s Los Angeles Printers Fair at the Printing Museum in Carson, CA. This shipment set a Letterpress Things record for variety and weight, so we expect that whatever you think you might need, want, or learn about from some of the best minds in letterpress will be at your fingertips on Saturday and Sunday.

If we can’t entice you to take a trip to our Letterpress Things Store in Chicopee, Massachusetts (Fall is a beautiful time to see the leaves change color in New England) to see more of everything and some additional things you never thought you could take home, stop by during the Fair because there will be tables and tables of things to choose from. Bring your “wish list” too because the holiday season will be upon us very very soon and everyone’s favorite letterpress fanatic surely could use another tube of ink, a box of wood type or an elegant assortment of icons and ornaments (see our website for details).

This is one of the wood fonts we will have for you to see at the fair.
