in the library...

Here are some of the books I have around the workshop for reference and ideas:

• American Iron Hand Presses by Stephen O. Saxe
• Printing as a Hobby by J. Ben Lieberman
• Thinking in Type: The Practical Philosophy of Typography by Alex W. White
• General Printing: An Illustrated Guide to Letterpress Printing with Hundreds of Step-by-Step Photos by Cleeton, Pikin, Cornwell
• thinking with type: A critical Guide for Designers, Writers,Editors , & Students by Ellen Lupton
• Typographic Systems by Kimberly Elam
• Grid Systems by Kimberly Elam
• an original "Printers' Supply Book" from the Kelsey Company
  
• an original "The Printer's Guide Book" 6th edition, from the Kelsey Company

I also suggest a swipe book (for keeping track of other people's work) and making a binder with printed samples of all your fonts, dingbats, etc...
