I love letterpress print, I love the look of paper that has been letterpressed and I would love to own a book that was done in letterpress. Letterpress is relief printing which leaves an impression on the paper. When I first saw a print done in letterpress, I wanted to know more about it and how to do it myself. I found that letterpress print machines are no longer being made, but the parts for them are. If you want buy your own press it would be hard to find and expensive.  Supposedly, they occasionally come up for auction on ebay, and if your lucky you can afford one. For those of us that fall in the DIY category, I found this video on how to make your own.
