"Historians love pivot points, those times when energies converge and the future can unfold in strikingly different directions. Life seems so unknowable and chaotic on the near side of a shift, and then, ten years on, events seem to have aligned into the only possible outcome. I believe that the book arts are, once again, at such a pivot point: previous ones being in the 1960s and the 1980s. Here is the good news: there is no question that in the past thirty years, the book arts (and in particular, letterpress printing) have expanded and matured light years beyond my imaginings when I joined the field in 1984."
