Nicholas buries his head between his knees; and Suzy, interviewed on the lawn of her father's 4,000-acre estate in Scotland, is so uncommunicative that the camera moves away from her to see her pet retriever fetch a dead rabbit.

Not surprisingly, printers covet them. That's why a machine in good condition can fetch a high price. A Vandercook might go for as much as $6,000; four years ago, you could have bought one for less than $1,000. "If one machine breaks down, I want to have another one to back it up," says Webster...
