How Books Are Handmade At The Last Printing Press Of Its Kind In The US | Still Standing
Arion Press is the last printing press in the US where books are handmade from start to finish. Using machines and techniques that date back to the 1800s, these books can take years to make and cost up to $10,000 to buy. Set against the tech hub backdrop of San Francisco, this institution helps keep the traditional craft of letterpress printing alive.

How Books Are Handmade At The Last Printing Press Of Its Kind In The US | Still Standing
This is long.....
Dads been a printer for 40+ years working on machine that were older when he started then he is now. Shops closing up in the next few years because the same 4 people who have worked there for decades are retiring and no one wants to take over. I keep badgering him to ask boss man about buying some of the machines as the owner has already stated he dosnt know what hes gonna do with them after they close. I dont think either my dad or boss man realize how much those machines, or the knowledge they have, are worth. Im kind of upset with myself i didnt learn more when i would visit the shop. It was a great place. The smell of ink, paper, grease, and dust.. So satisfying watching them clean the rollers or the pages getting spit out. Im gonna miss that old shop.
Waaoo...
HAÑD MADE IS ORIGINAL."Cant say more".
This some white people shjt rite hur
I would love to see this place amazing
Responsible for keeping the knowledge alive is the best part of the process of traditional printing.
1:32 nice job dude
Books are pretty pointless nowdays too much technology now! Also all books will rot away books online will not
Maine's Workshop sure is leveling up. Can't wait until they reach this level!
Of course it's in San Francisco.
Reminds me of the protests in NYC by typist unions against PCs back in the 80s.
6:18 middle age man cant open a file
NCERT.......
Mmmmmm ASMR
So is this why my O Chem book was $600?
Doing what you love, and to have the ones you love, want to learn, that is heaven my friend. That little girl is worth a billion.
To quote the immortal Egon: "Print is dead."
Y’all see how he is waiting a mask but in other countries they are not
A .txt file written in MsDOS can be opened in Windows 10. The problem is making a file from a modern machine compatible with the old tech, not vice versa.
No wonder this is dying... this seems extremely wasteful
Yes, it may be traditional, but it's tedious, and time consuming. This is why modern day printing is taking over. It's just way more efficient.
I want to make an insulting joke about hipsters
This is ridiculously stupid...... These people really need to let it go and adapt to the future
Stupid
I would love to know how much you both cost for a handmade book for Ariana press
I have a friend that does this in the UK
I kinda want to work there now
I would love to learn the skill and techniques of this letterpress and binding..
i still use my pigeons to send messages to my friends...cuz i like to keep it real and old skool!
What's the point? What a pain in the ass.
If I ever publish a novel, I think I’d like to put out maybe a single edition made by these guys. Maybe only one for me. Or 5 total in the world. It’d be a good gift for publishers.
Well NOW I KNOW why some books are EXPENSIVE! All that work that goes in to making a book ,it must take hours and hours .it’s a dying art I thought that this type of work had gone forever ,very interesting!
Keep it up 👍 please for ever
I dont think its letter by letter its line by line right? I dont like it when they exagerate things
Damn it looked just like a book.
What a sweet daddy and daughter duo.
The narrator sounds a bit like Ryan from The Office
Did anyone else think the book's pages would be made of that metal sheet?
These people are insane

Do ASMR, YALL WILL MAKE SOME MONEY
That’s just stupid 🤦🏻♂️😂
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3: 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16: 16 “.....Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” Matthew 3: 2
What is the purpose of this wen u have printers
This is nice for a video, a museum, or a tourist attraction. But i'm glad that knowledge is no longer as expensive and way more accessible. That's what is shortening the gap between the rich and the poor.
Letterpress isn't the only "traditional" printing method. It's the oldest but not the only one. Can't trust business journalists to get history right
Megan needs to build a hairbrush while she's at it.
What if in the past they worked 10× faster ?
1:29 worker: Sir sir Me: get me that machine Worker: But sir its antiq- Me: get me that maachine
A living museum
❤️❤️❤️💯
1)The question is - what will happen to Bitcoin when it crashes to $ 5 apiece? And what will happen to those who do not have time to drain them? )))
Ascendance of bookworm
It's not like we still use a Heidelberg Windmill in modern companies nowadays :/

They are so accurate bruh
Waste of money
Nice video, but actually movable type printing tecnology has a longer history. It was first invented around AD 1040 in China by BI Sheng.
owning Books were a luxury back in the old days
I love 5ge gentle flick click sound the machines make.
I applied for an apprenticeship here! I never got a response but I still would love to learn this craft someday
This is really cool. My hats off to you. Incredible But seems like a waste of money. Why, I don't understand. They again I can't read or write.
What a waste of money..
Uh, my college books are more expensive than this and they are printed the modern way and updated yearly. 😏
But they dont have the historic value tho 🤪
Can I do that papa
i also call my dad "papa" . when you do something wrong it become " paaaaaappa " with some butter hahahahahaaha loool
Just like NASA said they lost The technology like they just lost it or something
Awesome it brings back memory’s I use to do that in high school I loved it hope the new generation will pick this trade
I appreciate it its cool but i wouldn't start it as a business hes brave
I hate digital books. Nothing like holding a physical copy and having that book smell. With a fresh made cup of coffee or tea.
I see asmr. Long snails scratching the letters
Okay, bu why?
Where is emoji
Would love to see that mentor post videos on youtube. We have a nice printshop in st.pete at pioneer.
Can I work there for free?
1:31 mhm something doesn’t seem right
they're so passionate about their work, it's so nice to see 💗
Books will trend again! I can see it! Not everyone wants a page to pop up with pop ups unless its an elementary school
Can I work there
Do they also print works other than Latin script?
This is why theres almost no stupid books before. Just how theres not a lot of stupid songs before. You can’t just go producing them and upload to IDworlds.
Keep doing it! History handcraft
❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's not efficient but it's history.
Its amazing knowing how to make a book like this. It maybe take so long and cost expensive. But there's a different feeling especially to those who love this kind of style. I love watching this
Want to know why...?
This is where I wanna work
My Grandfather was a linotypist (type caster) and he and my Grandmother had their own letterpress business in the 1950’s. I’m so happy they are preserving this art! I think there are 2 working type casting machines in the US if not the world that I’ve heard of.
I thought they just change out the letters for the slates, I didn’t know they make each sentence from scratch 😱😱😱
So true. I have books lying on my Bookshelf which I can pick up and read anytime. But files on my PC are lost due to repairs and password locks which I don't know anymore
I knew by the title this business was in either SF or Portland. People there have the right amount of free time and pretentiousness to do something of this useless.
I think I'll use my phone..
I've only read ebooks
Can i get a job there?? What are the requirements?
Ok, why?
Absolutely stunning and impressive. This is the reason I always say we should take a step back and enjoy life. High-tech should not be in every aspect of our lives
As a book lover I think this is the most stunning process in the world my eyes ever watched❤️
