Dear Mr. Coughlin:

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Life in the Back Shop, as it covered the years when I began newspapering. I’m still at it, though my Linotype is turned on only one day a week, and seldom does a hot type line make it into our paper..

“If others enjoy the back shop book as much as I do, you will need a second printing. . . . Your book is one of the few which rates ‘wish I’d done that!’ from me. Keep up the good work!”

What Cheer Paper

About Mike Coughlin

I am a letterpress printer, a hot metal typesetter, a hand bookbinder, a hand paper maker and paper marbeler. I publish books, pamphlets and broadsides and do commissioned book typesetting and printing as well as general commercial printing. Too many letterpress printers want to take your first child in ransom for working with you. Mind you, some first children might be good to be rid of, but you get the idea. Anyhow, I think letterpress ought to be available to the non-Donald Trumps of this world and I am devoted to making it possible for those of us with considerably lesser means to enjoy the thrill of having our books or pamphlets printed letterpress. That's about it. I look forward to working with you.
