    Success! Thank you friends!

    The 5th Annual Buffalo Small Press Book Fair came off without a hitch, and it was definitely the biggest, best fair to date. 

    Thanks to your generosity, the Buffalo Small Press Book Fair will live for another year, and this amazing annual event will continue to grow.

    We will be contacting everyone shortly for their addresses so that rewards can be shipped - if your reward is a Ludlow slug, we'll be contacting you soon for the details!

    All the best, we could never, ever do it without you! 

    Soon,

    Reward Added! Thank You to All Who Have Contributed

    The fundraiser is generating a lot of buzz, and we're well on the way - but to sweeten the pot, we've added another reward. 

    For all you letterpressers and printmakers out there - if you give more than $25, you'll receive your own custom Ludlow slug for printing.  A customized word or phrase cast in type-high lead - imagine the possibilities.  Let your friends know, and if you're interested, bump your reward up a couple bucks and reap the benefits!

    Font choice is limited.

    All the best, and thanks to you all!

    Chris
