Finished a 1,000 mile round trip to deliver a treadle powered 10x15 Chandler & Price old series (circa 1899) printing press. A narrow doorway necessitated removing the flywheel and throw-off, and I always remove the feed-boards for a move. She was back together and operating smoothly before leaving.

One fun tidbit about this book is the previous owner was Robert Randolph Karch who was in fact also a publisher of letterpress textbooks as well.

A new letterpress textbook for my library: "Instruction Manual for Young Printers" by R. W. Delvidge and Harvy A. Witt, printed in 1926. Since it is in the public domain and no digital editions are yet online I will work on getting it scanned and uploaded to the Internet Archive soon.
