The Printshop was recently invited by PPL Special Collections Librarian Rick Ring to visit and view a new acquisition. "From the subscriptions and donations raised for my Occasional Nuggets series, the covers of which are printed on a Vandercook proof press, I was able to purchase The Vandercook Book, produced this year by the Center for the Book Arts in NYC.

To celebrate the acquisition and to inspire my partners over at AS220 to do something similar, I invited the keymembers of the Printshop to the Library for a glass of champagne, to toast printing and the book arts, and to get them out of the shop for a few minutes and give them some love! I must admit, it was a great time."
