Our library holds a special collection of Arion Press books.
“Arion Press is the only printer in the United States to make books entirely by hand from comma to cover under one roof. Founded in 1974 as the successor of the renowned Grabhorn Press, Arion invites the world’s leading artists to reimagine literary classics in collaboration with expert bookmakers. Each Arion title is crafted in the last unified hot-metal type foundry, letterpress workshop, and book bindery in America, employing the same historic machines that cast the U.N. Charter in 1945 to produce contemporary artist books.” from arionpress.com
