Abstract
I remember being drawn, almost beyond my control, into a room that smelled of thick ink and well-seasoned wood; a place where large type drawers held tiny metal letters, and a background whir and whistle left me to believe something special was taking place. Various book-related elements — paper, ink, bindings, cover boards, woodblocks, and cutting utensils — were strewn about the room, and eye-catching examples of printed fonts and picture images were propped up against the baseboards. I had stumbled into the McGuffy Arts of the Book Center in downtown Charlottesville, and the hub of activity left me wishing I could extend my day trip.
我记得，我几乎不由自主地被拉进了一个房间，里面弥漫着浓重的墨水味和熟透的木头味;在这个地方，巨大的铅字抽屉里放着细小的金属字母，背景里的嗡嗡声和口哨声让我相信正在发生什么特别的事情。各种书籍相关的元素——纸张、墨水、装订、封面、木版和切割工具——散落在房间里，引人注目的印刷字体和图片靠在踢脚板上。我偶然进入了夏洛茨维尔市中心的麦高菲图书艺术中心(McGuffy Arts of the Book Center)，这里的活动中心让我希望能延长我的一日游。
