Bagger Blog: Printers Talking



Nothing much happening around here, nothing much grabbing our attention, so here's this: the transcript of an interview with Lewis & Dorothy Allen about their work at the Allen Press. Conducted in 1969, so shortly after they'd published Printing With the Handpress. Conducted by Ruth Teiser, who did a number of other printing-related oral history recordings in the late '60s. She also wrote the biography of the printer Lawton Kennedy published by the Book Club of California. Check this page, you'll find links to transcripts with Mallette Dean, Valenti Angelo, Albert Sperisen, William Everson & loads more. The Allen interview will make good reading for anyone interested in fine printing.
