On Kickstarter: The Tramp Printers
“A tramp printer was a typesetting troubadour who came to town with a story in lieu of a song — an itinerant scholar and a master of the typecase. Carrying a union journeyman’s card and little else, these train-hopping typographers criss-crossed the continent by foot and rail for more than a century. To the tramp printers, freedom and the open road were far more valuable than material possessions.”
