Once more unto Oxford

Libre Livre was in Oxford again this weekend, albeit briefly. Charming it wa not, hordes of tourists everywhere, traipsing along by the busload and generally getting in the way. Saturday had the additinal irrititations of intermittent heavy rain and students marchng round in mortar boards and gowns. Still, the second- hand bookshops are excellent, and I bought a pair of heavy duty leather boots in the sales - having dropped various bits of printing equipment on my feet over the years I have gradually learnt that sandals and printing do not go too well together.

We also thrilled to add to our collection of wood type, and to be introduced to the Journal of the Printing Historical Society, whose website can be found here: Printing Historical Society
