James Lamar Weygand calls his personal press the Press of the Indiana Kid. His work encompasses all of the book arts: making paper, writing, illustrating, setting type, printing letterpress, and binding. This is a very early publication and quite scarce. It's an account of the world's first airmail flight. There's a fold-out illustration of the envelope carried on the balloon in 1859 along with a commemorative postage stamp.
