it was rad to read the history and how SF is still cranking out the prints and that master printers never change….

Hi Andrea:

Guido has a website http://www.silkscreenhistory.com/einfuer/einfuer.html

Unfortunately (for us English speakers) most is in German. Just click around, there are lots of photos and archival bits.

Sounds like a great book. Do you know where I could read more about the early history in Europe?

Hi Bill:
The rest of the book is slowly being finished – it is all as thick with history and examples as this section. first in German, and then – hopefully – they will work through and translate all to English.

I’ll post updates as I get them.

When will you be translating the rest of this great book? Or is it available in English somewhere?

I read nearly all of the excerpt. It was fascinating and a great read for anyone interested in screen printing industry in the US. I recognized several modern names and companies and was pleased to learn of their history. Nicely done!
