Take a hard-left turn through the latter-day Luddite Alexandria of Tuscon (not Tucson), which has been quietly nurturing a revolution of digital refusal, documenting the decline of culture with blood-and-sweat traditional printmaking and trenchant polemic, preserving whatever scraps of history it can snatch from the ravenous backhoe of Progress. Includes a personal narrative of the author's own experiences as a young printer in the midst of the craft's social & economic requiem at the hands of computers and general societal malaise.

 Anyone interested in the history of printmaking or the radical press -- both their social functions and the literal nuts and bolts of its production -- will find this title an addictive antidote to the alienated ADHD of "social media." And now, to supersize your irony, you can buy it on the internet! ~GS
