I recently discovered the Briar Press web site and thought I'd pass it
along. They have lots of pictures of all sorts of presses, a
classifieds section (including this free press sitting in Cambridge,
http://www.briarpress.org/8603, that I hope finds a home rather than
gets scrapped), and a section called Cuts and Caps, which is scans of
old letterpress art scanned & converted into PostScript files, which
they make available.
it's an awesome web sight, i use it's pin mark archive a lot.
the press looks like the one that was in the lobby of the Athenaeum
office building on First Street
anyone got space to store it? my barn floor isn't strong enough to
carry it
we could ask apo-news
moving it would be a chore
it be nice to have a spare, the big press could die someday.

ps: i owe this list quite a few emails. will catch up soon. several
fires to put out.
