Garrick Hall.
Words at Garrick are pressed, not printed. The distinction matters to those who have done both.
A two-storey stone hall containing four working presses (one Albion, two Vandercooks, one Heidelberg cylinder) and a bindery on the upper floor.
Originally a parish meeting hall, Garrick was retrofitted in MMXIII with insulation, gas heating, and a single permanent commitment: that the typecase would never be sold. Some of the cases came from a closed Edinburgh print shop; others were cast on site.
“Words at Garrick are pressed, not printed. The distinction matters to those who have done both.”
The house publishes a single chapbook each year, in an edition of forty-nine. The forty-ninth copy stays in the hall.
