I've been anxiously trying to make a trip to Letterpress Things in Massachusetts for months. Everything finally aligned. There there lives a new little baby in Rhode Island and we went to visit him and his family Saturday morning, then headed 2 hours north to the little gem of Letterpress Things. Coury was excited for me. He said I should just go wild, but I only hoped to spend $100 and to my suprise, that's exactly what I did, to the dollar.
John Barrett might be the nicest gentlemen I've met in a while. He was very eager to help everyone find what they needed and offer suggestions. I went in with a list of things that have been overpriced on Ebay for years. Line gauge, Composing stick, tray. I left with those and several new blocks, Quads for 8pt, 12pt, and 30 pt, a new font (12 pt Gothic), business card size paper, @ symbols in lots of sizes, and an interesting wooden storage box.
It's a lovely visit. www.letterpressthings.com
