One printed page a month, pressed hard into cotton paper.

Photographs of mail sent by Letterpress Almanac
A single broadside each month, printed on a 1920s Chandler & Price platen press on 300gsm cotton rag. Each sheet carries a seasonal almanac entry — what is in season, what the moon is doing, one useful thing to know — set in metal type and printed in two colours. The impression is deep enough to read with your fingertips. Printed in a Brooklyn basement that smells permanently of ink and machine oil.
One per calendar month, from the creator

A roller trolley cracked and the replacement is coming from a man in Ohio who only answers the phone on Tuesdays. August broadsides will ship in the first week of September instead.
Nobody will be charged for August until it actually ships. If you would rather skip the month entirely, reply and I will pause you.
What went out, month by month
Two colours: a heavy indigo and a fluorescent orange that took three passes to get right.
Set entirely in 18pt Caslon. The ornament border is from a specimen book printed in 1912.
A planting calendar for the northeast, printed in sage green on natural white.
The press jammed twice. You can see it on about six of these, and I sent those anyway.
