“This was printed offset in 1978 by Peter & Donna while learning to run the College Five press (at about three in the morning and we still remember eating donuts afterwards). It was a photo reduction of letterpress printing done by Peter as a student at the Cowell Press in 1976. The printed pages sat around until 1979, when Donna cut the illustration and we bound them together as a book to sell at the Dickens Christmas Fair.”
