A documentary by student filmmaker Hanah Ryu Chung about the present and future of books. Shot in Toronto, it features lots of independent booksellers (including UPPERCASE stockist Type Books) as well as bookbinders and letterpress printers. Nicely done. {via The Travelling Bookbinder}
UPDATE: thanks for the tremendous response! The call is now closed.
Issue 8 is a work-in-progress, but content is starting to flow in. I had one of those ideas… the kind that you just have to put out there and see if it works:
The forthcoming issue of UPPERCASE, a magazine for the creative and curious, celebrates letterpress with features written by Charlotte Rivers (The Little Book of Letterpress) and Bethany Heck as well as a studio tour and interview with Studio on Fire. We would love to have our readers experience the tactile qualities of letterpress while getting to know the talented spectrum of letterpress printers out there. We are looking for participating printers to donate samples of their work which will then be inserted into the magazine. All printers who donate work will be listed with their contact details. This issue will be distributed in January/February.
We are looking for 30 printers to each donate 100 items for insertion. Possible items could be greeting cards or small art prints, below 8″x10″ in size. (They don’t all have to be the same, either, since just one sample will be randomly inserted per magazine. Ideally, the item would have your company name on it, though.) Items should be sent to UPPERCASE before December 15. If you’d like to be involved, please confirm your participation as soon as possible to janine at uppercasemagazine dot com. thanks!
