Fine Press Bibliography 2011-2025

Recently I've started working with Richard Martin from the Private Libraries Association on picking up where their last official bibliography release left off (2010). We are putting together a bibliography of fine press releases from then to the current present (2025). I have started the catalogue, but as you can imagine, it's a phenomenal lift.

So I wanted to reach out and see if any of you wish to take part in this as well. If so, please reply here or send me a PM and I'll work on getting you added to the project. I hope to be able to share the basic document soon after I get it cleaned up a bit. (Also, if any of you wonderful book designers want to turn your hand at making the digital book look better, I'd be most grateful.)

The idea is that additional contributors would select the currently uncatalogued presses they wish to cover and assemble the list in the format we settle on. Many hands make light work, and with the incredible knowledge this community has I feel this can be a great resource.

Thanks in advance!

>1 Shadekeep: I wish you good fortune in this project: you've picked a tough horse, but it'll be a fun ride! I wouldn't be of much help, as too much of my collection is older than 2010.

The project is live now on the PLA website here: https://www.plabooks.org/bibliography

As you can see, many miles to go. Already getting emails about additional presses to include which aren't even in the tentative work list in this version.
