About this hidden gem
Owner Arie Niks's Historic Book Printing Works De Arend contains a large collection of old printing tools and materials. Besides some seven printing presses, all hand-operated, Arie has collected many types of lead and wooden letters over 40 years. He also imports ornaments (decorative elements) and clichés into the hand-set.
