Those were the days! We had blocks made, printed our own leaflets, programmes etc.
There was something special about all the paraphenalia that went into our little ‘print shop’ as we called it!

About ann perrin
'Finding my feet in Brighton' - annperrin.wordpress.com. Moved to Brighton with my long term partner five years ago. I am a sometimes poet, writer, artist, puppeteer. My claim to brief fame, treading the boards with my marionettes, (I was in Variety) in the same shows as Max Miller and later Morecambe and Wise. Later did the Telegoons on TV.
Alan has taught himself the banjo, plays bluegrass and fiddle for folk. We have recently acquired an allotment.
My poetry book 'Don't Throw Away The Daisies' is available from Amazon and The Open Arts Cafe in Rottingdean, where I run a free 'pop in and write poetry' once a month, some people come who have never written poetry before. Inspirations and fun.
Currently editing my memoir, interested publishers please note...you don't want to miss a gem! Yes I am joking! But then one can get lucky? Ann
Love this – and its coming back as a reaction against digital. There was a fantastic letter press studio on the floor below when we sold a Craft Central in Clerkenwell. He was running courses and was packed out. http://ellajohnston.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/more-letterpress-love/
Not surprised love all this stuff dismantled but resisting ebay…it’s like having a valuable heirloom. Ann
