What inspired the start of The Letterpress Project?
I have always been an avid book-lover, so when I recently retired from being a university lecturer in early childhood studies, with my husband I set up a not-for-profit project that focuses on the specialness of the printed book for readers of all ages. Like many others, we were concerned about the view that technology was becoming more desirable than printed books, particularly for children. I used to be an early years teacher and had always ensured that there was a wide selection of picture books available to be shared throughout every day. I also now have two young grandchildren and am busy rediscovering all the classics like The Tiger Who Came to Tea, and eagerly buying new titles too.
