Marty invited me to view his newly restored Ludlow type caster. The pot that holds the molten type metal heats up to 600 degrees and then is ready to cast lines of type. With some experimentation with the type box, individual type may be cast.

Elisa Pellacini - 'use A book'
'use A book' by Elisa Pellacani is a 428 page delight. Demonstrates and exhibits many creative ways of making , constructing, illustrating and publishing, then using, 'books'.
Most of the text is in Spanish with some English translation. The photographs and illustrations are in the universal language of the global village. Elisa is also the driving force behind the annual 'artist book' fairs that travel around Barcellona. She is looking for new material for the 2012 travelling show.
