The edition of the original "
Seepage" book is underway. With a little help and a lot of spacing, I got the text block tight, and started printing from the back - the page that's all text.

| Ready to ink up, ready to roll |
Fortunately there wasn't a crowd in the workshop, so I could use the proofing press solidly and lay out the pages. After wondering how big (or small) an edition to make, that matter solved itself - there was room to lay out 12 sheets - which also meant that the A3 pad of 30 sheets of tracing paper, cut into quarters, would be enough.

| Tracing paper needs to dry for as long as possible |
The "erasure" bit involved looking critically at the previous version and considering changes - one such change was to make the book a page shorter than the previous version.
 |
| Turning over text to "erase" it |
I was pleased, after three hours, to have a dozen sets of three pages printed, layered with newsprint, and stacked safely in a folder. Taken out at home, they look smudge-free, but closer inspection shows that the inking needs more attention -
Something to improve "next time" ... next week.
