[GBW] info on gold foil for stamping

["Eric Alstrom, GBW Communications Chair" <communications@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A former GBW member sent me this info to pass onto Guild members...

Hello Eric,
I've tried one of Quick's products so far.  They say it replaces the Swift
gold foil for tooling.  It's a little darker and more satin, but not as dark
as the German gold that Schaeffer supplies.  They do have other products.
They are willing to give out samples.  I think it's important for all the
bookbinders to give them feedback.
The other website is for Fort Hill Engraving.  They make brass tools for a
heated roll...it's interesting...and it's in Massachusetts.  I know that
Peter Geraty uses one and likes it a lot.
