More "Things" online. . .
/After the first of the year, a concerted effort was started to upgrade and expand our website. As with any IT project, setbacks have been inevitable. [Especially for an old man with limited computer knowledge.] Establishing pages for various letterpress stuff wasn’t just a matter of crafting a Page with infomation and photos. Each Page details specifically chosen, tangible items — lots of them — for sale! To support an individual Page requires gathering like things together to create both a detailed online inventory and an efficient, physical storage system.
For example, to create a Page for type, fonts in cases, packages, tied-up bundles and on galleys needed to be sorted, inspected, identified, logged into an on-line inventory, and then conveniently stored for quick, efficient retrieval. Fonts needed to be priced for resale; select fonts chosen, cleaned when neccessary and photographed. In short, it takes a helluva lot of time and physical work behind the scenes to support the Type Page - all the product Pages - you see here on the website.
At the moment, nine pages of letterpress “things” are now live and current on our website: LT-Type; Wood Type; Swamp Press; Icons; Full Case Fonts; Books; Market Place Things; Assembled Kits; and Single Item Supplies. There are two more - Cabinets and Machines - being worked on now and soon to be posted. Take a minute to check out the various Pages [the links below work]. Bear in mind, everything shown on the website [right now] is on-hand. Items, as they sell, will be quickly marked “sold” and we’ll attempt to replace things as tmely as our life and schedule permits. And if you can, plan a visit to the fourth floor on one of our Open Dates; it’ll be an “experience” you’ll enjoy and brag about once you return home.
