Printing Library

In the next few days I'm off to visit St Bride's Printing Library. This charming library - one of the few vestiges of the printing industry still located around Fleet St - is just behind the "wedding cake church", whose towers resembles, and by all accounts was the inspiration for, tiered wedding cakes. The workshop of Wynkyn de Worde, Gutenberg's first and greatest assistant, was just a few hundred yards away, so for letterpress folk this is hallowed ground. Let's hope a bit of the magic rubs off.
