5 out of 5 starsA great little notebook for a great price. The binding feels sturdy and like it's not going to fall apart any time soon, while also not being so stiff as to make it difficult to open the pages. Etsy says that it was never shipped, but it arrived in good condition well before the estimated delivery date.

5 out of 5 starsThe tags are charming and intended for someone with a sewing room. I am sure the recipient will be delighted with them. They are sturdy but not too stiff. I love how the items from Mueller Letterpress are handmade on an antique printing press!

5 out of 5 starsI have a friend who is a published poet so when I saw this item, I just had to buy it for her. She absolutely loved it!! It’s beautifully printed, matched the description and arrived quickly. I highly recommend this item (and plan to buy some of the notebooks in the future ;)

5 out of 5 starsI love the slightly old-fashioned look of the bird design! The size of the notebook is just right to fit in a medium to large-size purse, the cover is sturdy, and the paper is good quality.

About MuellerLetterpress
I was introduced to letterpress printing in 1961 when my brother had a small printing shop in our garage for a short period of time. I was only 11 years old but he showed me the basics and the "ink was in my blood". I continued to learn all I could during my high school years, working with a Kelsey 5x8 press and a few cases of type, and after graduating was able to start my own business. In 2005 I retired from the commercial world of printing but kept all my letterpress equipment. I currently do only traditional letterpress printing utilizing my vast collection accumulated over the years. I have over 500 fonts of metal type, drawers of engravings and cuts, and several platen presses including a Heidelberg Windmill. I currently do most of my printing on a 1912-era treadle powered Damon & Peets National, 6x10. Although I admire the work being done by many letterpress printers today doing their own designing, I prefer to stay with traditional letterpress, working with what I have at hand.
Over the years, each of my three daughters learned a bit of letterpress printing, often running the press to get jobs done. Although they did not pick up an interest in the craft, I am very pleased that one of my grandsons is currently learning from me. He was quick to learn the layout of the type case and typesetting as well as locking up forms and running the press. Hopefully his interest will continue.
I find great pleasure spending time in my shop on a daily basis. It is fun to create new and useful printed pieces using things I have collected over the past 59 years. I am always anxious to do custom printing on request for those who have an appreciation for the letterpress printed piece.
