Purchase
Please write to me [Josef Beery] if you would like to purchase a BookBeetle Press. They are manufactured by a skilled cabinetmaker in small batches. The press comes with a wooden chase for movable type and cuts, a wooden base for photopolymer plates or sheet linoleum, a set of furniture and wooden quoins for lockups, and a set of materials for building six tympan and frisket assemblies. I now also provide two additional wooden bases at no additional charge. These box bases allow fast and easy printing without the tympan and frisket assembly. All of this is described in detail in the 54pp illustrated instruction booklet. {You can download this booklet as a PDF now from the top of the home page.] The price of the press is $1200. [Significantly less than a reconditioned desktop Kelsey press...!] I can send you a PayPal invoice for online bankcard payment or a regular invoice for purchase by check. When I receive your payment, I ship the press in two boxes via UPS Ground.
