Reviews
"We had a wonderful time with a private letter press workshop!! We are so grateful to Book Arts for helping us celebrate our mother’s 70th birthday."
"Highly recommend volunteering at WNY. We had such fun printing thank you cards for the shop. No previous experience necessary!"
"Nice shop with fun prints and t-shirts plus paper crafts. Downstairs is an awesome print exhibit including type, printers, and classes/demos! Dont miss the events held here. So fun for kids and adults!!"
"love the arts scene in Buffalo! This unique shop includes an amazing collection of old letter press machines in the basement. Visited twice in my time here because it was just so cool. If you have artsy kiddos too definitely worth bringing them by."
"This place is amazing. They have the coolest events, and some really interesting book-crafting classes. While they are best in-person, as they have lots of specialized equipment for printing and silk screening, during COVID they did some awesome on-line courses. The edible book arts competition (around April 1st) highlights the innovation that the people involved have. If you do stop by, make sure to check out the massive collection of lead type and the various printing presses that they have!"
