Even in the same language the rules for the use of quotation marks differs in different countries and I will try to collect these rules for a future blog entry. One thing however is the same all over the planet. Quotation marks are not meant for emphasis. Check this blog out, it's hilarious.

Pardon the old image. See more angles of our new letterpress shop here, ...and no this is not Dan in this picture.Letterpress Printing on the Vandercook Press
I am excited to announce that this summer Dan Morris is going to teach letterpress printing at the Cooper Union. In my experience a class stands or falls with it's teacher. Dan was instrumental in bringing the Cooper Union's print shop up to snuff. He is third generation letterpress printer and probably knows everything there is to know about his black art. In my mind he is the kindest, coolest guy I have met in a long time and I am sure his class will be so much fun! He runs The Arm, a contemporary gallery, performance space and public access letterpress studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and has produced letterpress projects with such artists as NYC punk band Japanther, Berlin conceptual artist Matthias Wermke, and Philadelphia hip hop act Spank Rock. For more information see www.thearmnyc.com.
Here is the course description:
In this class conducted in the Cooper Union letterpress studio students will learn the basics of printing in letterpress. You will learn how to set type using wood and metal typefaces and how to print your work on the studio’s Vandercook presses. This will be a hands-on class that will suit those who love design and typography but need a reprieve from the computer screen. This course will be an in-depth experience in letterpress for those interested in taking things beyond basic hand-set type composition. We will explore ways that images, foil stamping, die cuts, scoring and perforation can be incorporated in your designs to achieve great effects. During class the students will have time to work on projects of their own using the studio facilities (primarily the Vandercook presses) and to troubleshoot problems encountered with the assistance of the instructor. There is no pre-requisite for this course, but a familiarity with basic type terminology will be beneficial.

Hey guys,
I ended up not taking that class. No time, all work here... Pity, huh? Anyway, comments about alignment issues and such are best submitted by using the feedback button. Screenshots are welcome. Not sure about IE but on Safari and Firefox all seems ok here.
