Abstract

How do we bring a sense of order and organisation to not only paperwork (whether it be paper-based or digital) but to collections of objects or equiment – tools in the garden shed – recipe clippings – or just everyday ephemera?
This book highlights how a collection of approximately 200 letterpress blocks have been categorised into seven sections. The classification of blocks should, in theory, enable users to easily locate a particular item, to make the process of printing quick, easy and effective.

Additional Information:This artefact has been purchased by the Centre for Fine Print Research at the University of West England, Bristol — for their artists' book collection.
