Letterpress finalists...
I'm finally making some headway on presses that could print our chapbook cover. Although I've not discussed this with our members yet, I'd imagine a run of about 100 copies plus artist's proofs. These are the vendors I'll be contacting-- can other members have a look at these sites, then give me some feedback?
Running the Goat Press
A beautiful handmade look. Love the binding!
Chester Creek Press
Lovely, well-designed books and broadsides. Nice open space!
Interrobang Letterpress
Work is very nice, lots of rock poster and CD design
Bieler Press
Around since 1975, beautiful typography! Love that Weiss font...

Thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting again. Another (sometimes) letterpress small press publisher you might be interested in checking out is Red Dragonfly Press.
By way of full disclosure, they've published two of my books, so needless to say I'm a fan of theirs... :) Also the publisher Scott King is a friend of many years.
I'm not necessarily mentioning them as a potential printer for your chapbook cover (I'm not sure if the publisher Scott King is taking "outside" jobs right now in any case), and you clearly have several possibilities you're looking at, but you might be interested in checking them out for general purposes.
The books of mine that they've done have been typeset modern-style on computer, though they did a one-poem broadside of mine letterpress a few years back. I think Scott does beautiful work.
As an amusing and irrelevant side note, at the moment the "word verification" word for the comment box is "odddhot." Usually the WV words look like extraterrestrial scribblings. "Odddhot" has a dash of style.
