“You should dispense with any idea of running a small press as a money-making sideline. In the first place to do so would put you under obligation to people who perhaps know nothing about print. You may be asked to produce items with which you have little or no sympathy and become involved in the keeping of accounts. It would be far better to use your equipment as an instrument of design, to give your design freely and to take friendship in return.” – John Ryder
