      I'm so excited this is happening and that I was able to be a part of it. Moving to the Springs in two short weeks and can't wait to see the exhibit. Congrats!

Update #2: Just a quick update for all fans of the project....

Posted on May 11, 2010

This is our update.

This year so far we have had great letterpress travels through the USA; To Hamilton, Columbia Center for the Book, The Platen Press Museum and we just returned from a trip to Hatch in Nashville and Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. in Gordo, Alabama.

These friends and others are contributing to the show and we have works arriving everyday from all over the country and the UK.

I'll include a few photos here, however you can also visit out blog at http://bit.ly/aywIlz

We are within $20 of our initial funding goal.

Thanks in advance for everything.

Rick
