The Art of Making a Book

Sagemind says...

When he pulls that lever, the whole press shifts, I'm pretty sure the Gutenberg wouldn't move like that. A Gutenberg is between 1 & 2 tonnes.
They don't show any distinguishing marks. In my opinion, if it was, they would have showed the emblem, (just to show off.)

I've used many presses like these, and hand-bound my own books, even made my own paper to use in the press. This is purely a hobby or small run use purposes. The amount of work that goes into setting all that lead type takes so long and the print run is so unpredictable, that it's just not profitable on any level to create full books like these. Nostalgic and cool yes. but you'd have to sell for several hundred dollars for for the book, and sell mass quantities. I hope the art form never dies though.

One of the professors at the college I work at, teaches sections on typesetting and printing on typesetting presses. He has his own publishing house and produces jobs for people.

Some photos here: http://www.greenboathouse.com/gallery/13-09.html
We also have a print studio at the college for students to use and train on.

Granted, not how most books are made today, but this is about specialized leather bound editions. They are still made, but barely.
Maybe should have been titled "the dying art of making a book"?
As an aside, is that a Gutenberg press?

NY Man Dies After Struggle With NYPD

chingalera says...

I do. There's no 'substance' to most of the peanut-gallery chit-chatter on this site from it's most active users, yourself and small cadre of ass-scratchers providing the fodder for my consternation enhancing the bitterness in my cooling coffee...

VoodooV said:

seek professional help. You obviously have a substance problem.

What is Israel to Do?(answer: get out of occupied territory)

chingalera says...

So....Now we know what it takes for yet another type of troll to break site rules while poking the mentally-challenged there, Holy Soldiers....By all means, your particular sentiments on the matter billpayer being obviously far-superior, please, enlighten the gallery!? Or perhaps you'd like to digress further with more clever scatology??

Ha ha... U a funny Troll man.
You are the shit stain that needs wiping out

How we give out moderating powers to Sifters (Controversy Talk Post)

oritteropo says...

How about an alternate star system for non-video-posting members? Perhaps a special peanut gallery badge for people who have been an active member for a year, or have posted 100 comments or cast 100 votes? Give blocked/nsfw/related/channel assignment at that point.

You could even have a gold peanut badge equivalent to gold star at some higher level (5 years?).

On a related note, should siftbot really award x years of membership badges to members who haven't logged in for the last 12 months?

Now don't hold me to this because I don't have any exact definitions in mind, but I wouldn't mind it if there was an alternate way to earn some powers so that long-time, active members who don't submit much don't have to be treated like second-class siftizens.

I think of it like a drawing where you can win either by making a purchase or just sending in a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE).

For members who've been here and participating actively for literally years, I always feel bad when they can't execute even the most basic of invocations.

But then I do also feel it may be too unfair to give them those powers when everyone else who has them got them by submitting videos. If a good number of starred members voted in favor of granting seniority-based powers, I think it may be a good idea.

Street Harassment Of Women In New York - An Art Project

chingalera says...

2 meh's from the peanut-gallery, one for you and bareboards2-Can't so much stand the holier-than-thou tossing-around of the convenient misogyny label like candy-corns from Halloween houses on the cheap...*edit, can't agree with your black or white sentence beginning with 'just' Engels, do agree however that to suggest that someone act for you according to your desire (like when a mother makes you go kiss yer aunt, etc.) is completely fucked-up programming.

Hope that edit cheered you up a bit there eric, sorry if I altered yer heart rate in some deleterious fashion....

Engels said:

There's just two different ways of saying 'smile'. One's a seemingly avuncular and friendly 'cheer up' and the other's the one these women are talking about, the one that says 'I want you as a sex object, how dare you have an expression on your face other than that which please me?'

Misogynists get away with it for the very reason you are all here defending men's right to tell a total fucking stranger across the damned street to have a specific facial expression. When you say it you want them to not look so down so that YOUR world has more color. It shows no sympathy for whatever the stranger's going through. Its pigheaded ignorant, but not misogynistic, just self centered, but its also a disguise for those who treat women like shit.

Clueless Old Guy says Clueless Crap

VoodooV says...

and would the troll gallery be saying this if McCain had won and had promptly had a heart attack, leaving Palin in charge?

judging all women on the basis of being a woman is about as discriminatory as it gets.

I'm sure BillO isn't that stupid, he just knows who signs his paycheck

I'm sorry but I'm gonna call ~half-fake~ (drew on a photo, some parts are being masked out). Go to this guys gallery. He is good. He is very good. But no other picture of his, even those done in PS come close to this level of detail.

Shannon Sharpe Rips the Dolphins' Locker Room Culture

bmacs27 says...

Can you point me towards a comparable situation? I can't recall a situation where he was making an emotional plea about an important topic and was ripped for his usual stutter. People like Jon Stewart pick their spots. Comedy is about timing.

I'm not saying you can't get your digs in. I'm saying there's a time and place. Shannon Sharpe's speech impediments and questionable word choice are widely joked about:

http://www.theonion.com/articles/cbs-producers-ask-shannon-sharpe-to-use-at-least-3,7044/

That doesn't bother me. He's plenty self deprecating about his "book smahts." My issue is with context. 99 percent of the time you could crack these jokes in his face and he'd laugh right along with you. If you did it here, he'd rip you in half. The guy grew up dirt ass poor in rural georgia. He made himself a millionaire. What does he need to do for the peanut gallery to shut the fuck up for 2 minutes while he talks about something important? If he was being granted a shred of respect, they would.

Terry Gilliam's Advice to Tarantino

shuac says...

Come on guys, it's not like ulysses1904 hasn't had a bevy of accomplishments of his/her own. Why, I remember the other day seeing one of his/her sculptures in an art gallery and in addition to being totally grown up, it was 100% original: not a shred of derivative inspiration.

So take that, you naysayers! I'm what you'd call a fan of his/her work.
