| Introduction | As a visual artist I learned to make sketch books. My interest in books expanded into graduate work in book arts, library science, printing on the handpress, and book binding. Book design and other book arts have been my passion. Deerbrook Editions publishes deserving authors collections in trade paper editions. Our first book came out in 2002. To date we have nine poetry titles and one children's book. Our books are now distributed by Small Press Distribution in California. Recently in correspondence with an author, "deserving authors" came up. As a visual artist and one who appreciates writers, it seemed that there are many creative people, authors of merit, that never get published, never have an exhibit. In this way, Deerbrook Editions tries to make a difference by publishing some of these people, using visual art on covers, and designing beautiful books. |
