Larkspur Press Featured on CBS Sunday Morning

"In our world of speed, step back into the world of slow... the world of Gray Zeitz, who started Larkspur printing press more than 40 years ago down a rural Kentucky road," said Barry Petersen to open a CBS Sunday Morning segment exploring the craft of producing exquisite books by hand at Larkspur Press in Monterey, Ky.

CBS Sunday Morning also visited Frankfort to speak with Ellen Glasgow of Capital Gallery about Larkspur's books, and to film a floor display dedicated to the printer at Poor Richard's Books.

The Larkspur Press website features contact information for several indie bookstores in the region.

Not long after the segment aired, Capital Gallery posted on Facebook: "Folks! We are overwhelmed with the response to the CBS Sunday Morning story! At this time we do not have an online shop... BUT if you call (502) 223-2649 and leave a message, Ellen will get you taken care of!! Also she will be open tomorrow (Monday)!"

Kelly Estep of Carmichael's Bookstores in Louisville said: "After this piece ran yesterday on CBS Sunday Morning, Carmichael's has received over 200 orders for Larkspur Press books.... Just thought it was a nice story about these beautiful books. He produces books for many Kentucky authors and poets (Silas House, Wendell Berry, Bobbie Ann Mason, etc.)."
