Some friends came round for supper last night, and we showed them the marbled paper that we bought in Italy. They thought it was fabulous, which it is.
Libre Livre is extremely proud to have been appointed as the exclusive retail outlet for marbled paper produced by Marbled Arts of Florence. To see some of the Marbled Art products and the techniques of paper marbling click: Marbled Arts

We're Back
For those who had not noticed that the Libre Livre team was on its annual vacation I've got news for you - we're back.
We drove down to Florence over the Alps - crossing near Briancon, thought by some to be the route used by Hannibal, and came back more slowly through southern France. In Aix en Provence we stumbled by chance on a book fair - tremendous range of antiquarian books, though in my unschooled opinion prices were on the high side.
I was particularly pleased to find a letterpress printing business in full swing. Unfortunately the printers did not speak English and my Italian is confined to "amo te" and "grazzi, vino", neither of which seemed appropriate, but I can confidently report that they were using an Original Heidelberg - I will post some pictures in coming days on the Libre Livre Photo Gallery
