Thought it may be of some interest to you to know, a while back i managed to find a british labels company who print many types of labels. They printed me some labels for a really low cost, i also ordered a <A HREF="http://www.selfadhesivelabels.com/label-dispenser.html" REL="nofollow">label dispenser</A> as i had been in need of one for a while and they were so cheap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-1120390112257037712005-07-03T21:28:00.000+10:002005-07-03T21:28:00.000+10:00"I like the sound of the book you're reading -- wh..."I like the sound of the book you're reading -- what's it called?"<BR/><BR/># Earthquake Weather by Tim Powers.<BR/>I am not yet far enough into it to know if the reference to the Shakespear is relevant. He starts most chapters with a quote from Troilus and Cressida, so possibly it will.<BR/>Tim Powers was recommmended to me by Fyodor.

It was four x one poem set in four different translations on the same page (including Russian), but I only had enough actual letters to set two poems at a time, so I'd set, print enough sheets to allow for mistakes, pull it apart, set another version, print and hopefully not make so many mistakes, pull apart, set etc etc. I did make a fair few mistakes, so while I printed lots of copies, I ended up with about only 15 copies of the book! Mind you, the final product was worth it.<BR/><BR/>I'm designing a volume at the moment which involves about thirty-five poems, but it's a regular poetry book, not a fancy artist's book like the last one. It's still going to involve a phenomenal amount of setting and printing. The poems are also shorter, so I should have enough type to print a set-up of eight poems (one whole side of a sheet) at a time, which is the traditional way of printing books.<BR/><BR/>I like the sound of the book you're reading -- what's it called?Ampersand Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245377686193859488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-1120040720409337152005-06-29T20:25:00.000+10:002005-06-29T20:25:00.000+10:00Hey, I was reading a book last night and one of th...Hey, I was reading a book last night and one of the characters has a Shakesperean play that was hand written for her.<BR/>It got me thinking that that would be an immense amount of work, but that doing a one-off type-setting of a play would be similarly a total labour of love too.<BR/><BR/>What's the longest thing you've type-set?harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218346748576276702noreply@blogger.com
