Seasonal Greetings

2008 has been a busy year for Libre Livre, moving to our new workshop in Lewes, building our website together with a couple of other smaller "test-bed" sites, and attending our first book and craft fairs in November. We are very grateful for all the support we have received from customers, advisers and friends to all of whom we would like to wish a very

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

A new Website

The main focus of Libre Livre is firmly on the physical: bookbinding, letterpress printing and paper marbling, but we also do a little web design on the side.

We have recently been working on a small site to try out some new techniques; cut-outs and random image selection. Here's the link: Lyons la Foret

New Type

A big thank you from Libre Livre to an East Sussex bookbinder who has given us 22 trays of type and a cabinet to hold it all. We are now busy sorting it and adding it to our type inventory, which can be found on the Letterpress Printing page of the Libre Livre website.

Weekend Printing

This weekend saw the LLL team hard at work composing and printing some personalized stationery for a new customer of whom we have high hopes. Whilst we were at it we were delighted to get a surprise visit from two people who have forgotten more about printing than we'll ever know. Lewes used to have three large printing companies, of which the best known was probably Baxters, all three now closed. All that is left, in the manner of the Cheshire Cat, is the experience - and we are certainly hoping we can draw on it.
