Letterpress and Offset Printing

Bennett Peji and Clarissa Vendemiatti Zorr designed this letterpress printed commemorative book for the grand re-opening of the US Grant Hotel. It was but one piece in a box set to celebrate the history of this venerable site. A more traditional approach to letterpress was employed using the grid system where the type backs up the type on the reverse side, eliminating excess impression and only allowing an elegant pressing of the headlines. All of the bookbinding and offset tip-ons were coordinated by In To Ink.
