A more accurate title for this piece might be “Bookmaking in Frontier Idaho.” Boise State University has no papermaking facilities, other than the occasional, easily-burned-out blender or the “Kelvinator Macerator,” a tricked-out garbage disposal unit purchased at Sears & Roebuck that can spew a glob or two of pulp when not overheating. Gutenberg has yet to arrive with adequate letterpress equipment. Other species of the press (book, nipping) also have yet to be sighted, although our university printing and graphics unit does have a two-color, offset Heidelberg and a new Xerox digital color press as well as some basic production capabilities (collator, programmable Polar cutter, saddle-stitcher, and Wire-O®/Plastikoil/comb binders).
