On September 22, we’re partnering with Brazos Bookstore to present Banned Books Week. Join us from 12 to 3pm at Brazos Bookstore where we’ll be printing event posters live! Letterpress-printed broadsides featuring quotes from infamous banned books, such as Nabokov’s Lolita and D. H. Lawrence’s Women in Love will be for sale. Our foil stamper will also be on site to emblazon each purchased broadside with a print edition number.

We would like to thank AIGA Houston for sponsoring this event.
