The exhibition includes some of the most significant works by Foolscap Press (Peggy Gotthold and Lawrence G. Van Velzer) of Santa Cruz; Moving Parts Press (Felicia Rice) of Santa Cruz; Ninja Press (Carolee Campbell) of Sherman Oaks; Peter Koch Printers (Peter Rutledge Koch) of Berkeley; and Turkey Press (Harry and Sandra Reese) of Isla Vista. All works are from Stanford Library's Dept. of Special Collections. A companion exhibition, “Illustrated Title Pages: 1500 – 1900," traces the development of layouts, printmaking techniques, and typography through title pages. Material for this exhibition comes from both the Dept. of Special Collections, the Art & Architecture Library, and the Cantor (sorry, no catalog). Cheers, Peter -- Peter P.
