And their numbers seem to be growing. Chad is a leader in the small number of printers who use only metal type. Plastic has taken over a lot of the commercial work, but metal will last forever — as serious collectors know.

The print line takes us back in time as well as projecting us into the future.

Seeing a sheet of fine paper come off the press with the ink still wet and the “tooth” of the type bitten into the paper is one of the most satisfying experiences I’ve had in publishing. I’ve told a few friends half kiddingly that I’d like to do all my books in limited-edition letterpress forms, followed up with e-books. Keith Taylor predicts it’s the way we’ll all have to do it in the future.

I’ve done some letterpress work with my friend Jim Horton (I’m pretty sure he and Chad know each other) and I am acquainted with the thrill when there are just enough pieces of type in the job case to complete the print! Keith Taylor’s wife, Christine, is working at JIm’s again this year, setting up a little print run.
