      "Nine years ago this was six people, one Chandler & Price treadle press and a garage in Castle Hayne. This year it is two hundred and ten of you, eleven working presses on the floor of the Cotton Exchange, and a punchcutter who has flown in from Oxford to cut a counter by hand in front of an audience.",
      "A few things worth knowing before you put your coat down. Everything on the ground floor is hands-on, so wear something you do not mind getting ink on; there is a washing-up station by the freight door and a crate of aprons beside it. The type cabinets in the Long Room are open all weekend, on the single condition that sorts go back in the compartment they came from. The Guild has fed people who honour that and quietly remembers the ones who do not.",
      "The workshops are capped, and the caps are real — they are the number of people who can see the bed of the press without standing on something. If a session is full when you get there, stay anyway and watch; nobody has ever been asked to leave the floor. The talks are not capped and never fill, which says something unflattering about all of us.",
      "Saturday afternoon everybody prints. The keepsake was set in metal on Friday by whoever wandered into the Long Room, and it comes off all eleven presses at once between half past two and four. Take your sheet home wet at your own risk; we have lost three car interiors this way and the Guild's position on that has not changed.",
      "If this is your first Tidewater, find someone in a red lanyard. They have volunteered, in writing, to be interrupted."
