The circle-patterned ones (”The rest…”) are reminiscent of the shapes in Sonia Delaunay patterns.
this is a wonderful book, so funny and, well, fun!
Wow — they look beautiful, Susan.

I respect anyone who does letterpress printing. At the same time I can’t help remembering W.H. Auden’s remark: ‘Most people enjoy the sight of their own handwriting as they enjoy th...
How fun! I would love to see a candid-camera video of actual computer/bookstore customers interacting with the typewriters.

Thank you for posting about Ida Applebroog! I watched the video, and think I may have just discovered a new favorite artist.
