The Pathfoot Press interns had a blast yesterday, learning the fundamentals of book binding under the supervision of the wonderful Marion Archibald from The Old Printing Works. Needless to say we are addicted. And look how shiny!
Many thanks, @ScotsAntiquary, for organising

A fun experiment in print I was working on while on holiday from work. A quote from Robert Leighton's lecture 'Of the Immortality of the Soul,' not to be mistaken for his evil twin "Rodert" who was cited on the first ten copies 👀 #spellcheckerneeded @PathfootPress @LeightonLib

@JustEatUK where has your live chat feature gone? I am having an issue placing an order and there's no way to contact? I've used it before and resolved the issue right away but the only contact I can make now is saying I'll get an email in a couple days which is useless.

Kick starting 2023 with these gorgeous sunny photos of our Columbian press taken by one of the undergraduate students last semester! Featuring the student's forme and print still in the press.

@ScotsAntiquary let me print cards at the @PathfootPress this year, and I'm right chuffed with how they came out! If you look closely at the picture of the batman card you'll see some evidence of what I call a "bonk shadow" which is the result of me being a poor printer! 🦇⛪

What is that?! One of our interns printed a small piece as a keepsake to accompany a personal Christmas gift of concert tickets at the Laeiszhalle (@elbphilharmonie) in Hamburg.
Classical music meets #letterpress printing - clearly, we are ready for Christmas!

Stop driving and take a closer look at that cairn!

In 1746, after the Battle of Culloden, the government general Cumberland triumphantly sent the head of Bonnie Prince Charlie down to London and called off the hunt for the Young Pretender.

However, it wasn't actually his head.

In today's blog post, Charlotte Holmes (@_CCHolmes_) writes about the first cookbook to be printed in Scotland, 'Mrs McLintock’s Receipts for Cookery and Pastry Work' (Edinburgh, 1736) - of which our Archives and Special Collections hold the only copies! https://t.co/m6zMYpmUYT

The interns have finished their first 8 page forme and are ready for printing!

When people tell me that they want to get back into reading but can’t seem to find THAT BOOK, I have some go-to recs based on what made them love reading in the first place

— here are 56 of them 🧵

A little accident in the print-shop, preserved in the pages of this Thomas Aquinas - a single letter has fallen out and lies sideways on the set type, leaving an impression on the page
