Portland, Eberhardt Press 2022, 204 pages, 8 x 5.5 inches. Ships from Hawaii. The tramp printer was a typesetting troubadour with a story in lieu of a song, a scholarly hobo, and a master of the type case.

To the tramp printer, personal autonomy and adventure were far more valuable than material possessions. Many of them were brilliant, literate individuals who were nevertheless compelled by a predilection for bacchanalian debauchery. The tramps helped each other over the hard places and spread the craft of printing, and always standing in solidarity with their fellow workers.
