Thomas Gravemaker –
This edition, the fourth, is even more interesting, as were the previous three editions. All the knowledge and information that Paul has gathered over the years finds its way into this book. Slowly but steadily, this is becoming the Vandercook Encyclopedia!
Daniel Gardiner Morris –
The 4th edition is a monster in the best possible way. This book is heavy and chock full of info for Vandercook press users not obtainable elsewhere. The diagrams and drawings are clearly illustrated. It provides an understanding of the machine’s components, systems and tolerances which will aid tremendously in adjustment of these aging machines. It gives you the tools to make your Vandercook a better press and to make you a better printer.
