Flora and Fauna Press is pleased to announce our inclusion in the wonderful book, the Little Book of Letterpress by Charlotte Rivers. Filled with beautiful pictures from some of the best letterpress designers, it is quite a privilege to be included.
The editor of Make Magazine has a new book out today, "Made by Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World". For those of us who make stuff by hand, this couldn't be a more profound publication. Seth Godin aptly and eloquently describes the book "...is about the increasing insulation between modern life and the idea of actually making/growing/fixing things. As Mark chronicles his journey into the world of tinkering, I realized that this is a spiritual journey, not merely a hobby. Tweaking, making and building are human acts, ones that are very easy to forget about as we sign up to become cogs in the giant machinery of consumption and production." {I appreciate Grodin referencing Marx's theory of alienation.} Buy one at your local {mom & pop} bookseller today!
