News from Flat Cap Publishing. Don’t try to tell me you don’t inhale. March 6, 2010. In this week’s New York Times Magazine, Virginia Heffernan considers her Kindle collection. One of the lovely things about a freshly letterpress printed book is that it smells of ink, sharp and heady, a solid and assertive smell that easily to outdo the weak, powdered, flat odor of warm plastic and electronics. Trust me, when you order and receive your copy of. Moby Dick Made Me Do It. March 7, 2010 at 5:38 pm. Enter you...

News from Flat Cap Publishing. March 9, 2010. From Updike, Printing Types: Their History, Forms, and Use. Harvard: 1922. When I start talking to most folks about letterpress printing and how I’m printing a book, I usually find myself talking about the process for a few seconds before I’m interrupted. Wait, metal type? You mean like with all those little pieces? Like you do this by hand? I’m not going to try to make a case here for hand typesetting or hand-work of any kind over digital typesetting and aut...

News from Flat Cap Publishing. February 6, 2010. Remember the segment on Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood where he would visit some kind of factory or workshop or something and you would learn how trumpets are made, or who is in charge of carving Hershey on every square of the chocolate bar (spoiler alert: nobody. It’s a machine! Or what the best part of working in the gumball factory is? It was great, right? So: what is this entrancing process we have to share with you? Moby Dick Made Me Do It.

I hope it’s not an imposition… | Flat Cap Speaks
https://flatcappublishing.wordpress.com/2010/04/19/106
News from Flat Cap Publishing. I hope it’s not an imposition…. April 19, 2010. Ages and ages ago, I wrote a little about composing type. I wrote about my love of hand-composition, despite the horror some others seem to feel at the thought of such a laborious process. And I said I’d try to follow up with further exploration of the details. Process, which I described this way: “composed type is […] secured in a metal frame called a. Which allows the type to be loaded into the press for printing”. Herewith ...

Green Hill: Poems by Virginia Dodenhoff
http://strayshot.blogspot.com/2014/10/poems-by-virginia-dodenhoff.html
Thursday, October 23, 2014. Poems by Virginia Dodenhoff. Someone told me once that the reason we live on this earth is to find happiness, bliss, nirvana. People say that happiness does not exist. But my friend said he found it the other day when he looked into the eyes of the girl he loved. Some kid was laughing. Is that not happiness? It’s letting go. This world is hard. We do what we don’t want to do. That’s how the world works. Life isn’t easy. Life isn’t fair. Those who work their asses off win.

Local Character: Judging books by their covers
http://localcharacter.blogspot.com/2009/12/judging-books-by-their-covers.html
Judging books by their covers. My first post here included a list of books I hoped to review. Those books are now stacked on a corner of my work table where I can see them out of the corner of my eye as I type. Or rather, I can see their covers. We’ve all been told Never judge a book by its cover. 8212;but we do it anyway: in bookstores, in libraries, even online. How often, when you choose a book, do you already know it inside and out? And yet there are many small presses which seem to make a go of it w...
