SUE ABBE KAPLAN

The Garlow Studio is a boutique letterpress studio designing and printing custom hand printed stationery, invitations and cards. Shulamis Press is a fine press letterpress studio producing handmade, limited edition books and ephemera on Jewish themes... My first introduction to the letterpress was through the books themselves. I studied Library Science at UCLA specializing in rare books and the history of the book. After graduation, I worked in the Special Collections of UCLA's Young Research Library as assistant editor of the Catalogue of the Ahmanson-Murphy Collection of the Aldine Press. I spent 11 years studying the books of the Famed 16th-century Venetian printer, Aldus Manutius and his family... The Aldine catalogue is composed of bibliographic descriptions, provenance notes and studies of the physical aspects of the books including the format, typefaces, watermarks and other characteristics of the press.
