— yes, we print letterpress things. we print books, posters, cards, invitations, wrapping paper and all manner of ephemera. we use only handset metal and wood types and have a wide variety of decorative cuts to 'spice up' the pages.
— we have been doing this since 1991, so we know what we are doing—more or less. we use real presses. one has a treadle!
— we think that designers should make the things they design. so we have taken things into our own hands (so to speak). we own the means of production.
— we want to be intimately involved in our work. we want to have fun. we want to share the fun with you.
— we want to make small things, in a small way, that make us smile. we want to make you smile.

5 out of 5 starsPerfect! Thank you. The extras and the note were a lovely touch. I’m a NSCAD grad too, and a former NSCAD employee. My partner — for whose birthday I bought these notebooks — is a current NSCAD employee.

5 out of 5 starsWe love it so much. It's a beautiful design on excellent material and we're eager to frame it. Shipping was expedient and an extremely high degree of care was taken that the print didn't get damaged.
Highly recommend the DeLillo print, if it's still available! -

5 out of 5 starsBeautifully designed poster! Love the vibrant colours, rabbit silhouettes/poses, and the font arrangements.
The notebook is also very well made, great design, and very unique.
Always a good experience purchasing from this shop! -

5 out of 5 starsSuch a well-made little notebook that has a very nice layout and bit of Canadian history. Enjoyed communicating with the shop owner and learning a bit more about the typeface used for this book. Everything was packaged well and arrived safely.

5 out of 5 starsLove the design and idea of this notebook, including the reverse direction/order on the opposite cover (the relatively recent rename of Burlington Street is a nice touch too). Very well-made with quality paper and printing.
