Hello, welcome to the Bore You to Sleep podcast, the podcast that will hopefully help you get to sleep.

I am going to read an open source book, one that is not particularly interesting, but one that is

hopefully boring enough to get you to sleep.

Tonight's readings comes from The American Printer, a manual of typography.

This book is a manual that discusses typography, printing, how it was created and evolved.

The book is published in 1893 and written by Thomas McKalla.

My name is Teddy and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest.

Sleep is so important and I'm hoping to help play a little part in helping you get it.

Each episode is designed to play in the background while you slowly fall asleep.

The podcast is completely free and it's the support from listeners that allows me to keep bringing

out more episodes. Special thank you to some listeners that allows me to keep bringing out more episodes.
