Letterpress A-Go-Go

Kyle Durrie, a letterpress printer, wants to put a portable press in the back of a bread truck, travel the country, and teach about printing. It's a charming idea, and she's already beat her Kickstarter fundraising goal.

Glenn Fleishman, @glennf, is the Executive Editor of The Magazine, a fortnightly electronic periodical for people interested in everything. Glenn also hosts The New Disruptors, a podcast about connecting creators and makers to their audiences, and writes as “G.F.” at the Economist's Babbage blog. He is a regular panel member on the geeky media podcast The Incomparable. In October 2012, Glenn won Jeopardy! twice.

This is near and dear to my heart. I wish I had money to throw at her.

Things really changed from in the time I entered the printing business back in the ’60′s. We can all use a little history.

Dirty Printmakers of America, and their predecessor org Drive-by press, do similar things. Very cool idea.
