Book of Days

For our inaugural Copperman’s Day print, I decided a message of positivity was in order. There’s more than enough negativity in the world, and our Copperman’s Day print is designed to help you combat the naysayers, the fear mongers, and the generally unpleasant. These are postcard size prints, printed letterpress from historic wood and metal types on the Vandercook 4 printing press in our Lake Worth studio. Send these prints to friends and family near and far; pin one to your bulletin board; keep one in view on your desk at work as a reminder of who is in charge of your happiness.

While the old Dutch coppermen sold their prints for a copper (which I gather was a penny), this is not terribly practical nowadays and a higher level of generosity is in order for artisans! This project also seems a fitting opportunity to raise much needed funds for the Jaffe Center for Book Arts, so here’s the deal: Self-determined pricing, to an extent––choose your price from a few options, depending on how generous you are feeling. The proceeds are split between the artisan and the Jaffe Center for Book Arts.

Our inaugural Copperman’s Day print is available now at our website. We’re even running a little Copperman’s Day special: Free shipping sitewide, when you purchase a Copperman’s Day print. No promo code necessary… just order as usual. Even though it will list an $8 flat rate shipping charge, we will deduct the $8 before we charge your card.

We intend to make the Copperman’s Day print an annual Convivio Bookworks tradition. It’s a tradition worth reviving. And we’ll keep the focus on positivity. Let those who dole out negativity dole it out elsewhere. Printers say: “Onward and upward!”
