A Gift of an Afternoon– Reading

April 14, 2015 ·

bookMy friend, Helen, stopped by with a gem, a Type Specimen book from 1906.  A page turner, at least for someone who has become obsessed with letterpress printing.  The ads, in particular, are fascinating. One advertisement reads:

Spring Tours For Men of Leisure, Tired Ministers, Etc.

Hmmmmmm. It’s time for my nap.
