The Legacy Press
Books about the Printing, Paper, and Bookbinding Arts
Reading through Suave Mechanicals [volumes 1 and 2], I marveled at how unique it is.... The essays do not move in an obvious, orderly fashion from subject to subject but are as diverse and surprising as the books and techniques they describe.... Learning to recognize and "read" this mute history, to treasure and preserve it, is one of the goals of The Legacy Press and its publications. —David Brock
