A well-turned out book has a serenity which hides every vestige of the disarray which has so often marked its gestation. The number of things that can go wrong in the making of a book is so great, it is small wonder that none has ever been produced entirely free from fault”

–Brooke Crutchley,
Printer of the Cambridge University Press, 1930s

News & Events

December- January 2009, 2010

Over a year in production, our new book, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, will arrive in late January. Our marketing campaign is well underway and the advance shipment sold out. Preliminary reviews have been overwhelmingly positive and we look forward to having them on hand for immedaate shipping.



Jim Dissette and Chad Pastotnik, Chester River Press and Deep Wood Press, received the wonderful news that their design for Heart of Darkness won the 2010 Carl Hertzog Award For Excellence in Design. They will be traveling to the University of Texas in February for the award ceremony. More about the making of the book will be published on the site in the future.
