Despite what might quite possibly be the worst most annoying voiceover ever, this is still an amazing little documentary on letterpress printing. If I could have just one extravagant thing, totally unnecessary, gross conspicuous consumption type of thing, it would most definitely be a letterpress. Never mind that I don’t have the slightest idea how to use one.
It’s a shame that the letterpresses are headed the way of the dodo, though one of my Wired colleagues claims there’s a couple small papers in the states that still use them. Here’s to Firefly Press, a dying breed.
