[Seth-Trips] demo tour of Arion Press, Thursdays, 3p

[Aaron Swartz]

Arion Press has "one of the last integrated typefoundry, letterpress
printing, and bookbinding facilities," operated as a living museum in
the Presidio by the Grabhorn Institute. They give one-hour tours every
Thursday at 3:00p and I'm told the place is simply a must-see. "Liquid
lead is beautiful," writes _SF Weekly_. "Bright silver and slippery,
at 800 degrees it moves more quickly than mercury, forming a slight
crust as it cools."
