The catalogue of an exhibition (1995) documenting the work
of Frances Butler and Alastair Johnston’s Berkeley based
Poltroon Press. Established in 1975 with the intent to print
and publish original works
of literature—poetry, short stories, experimental writing,
as well as books on graphic arts, typography, bibliography,
design history, and
subjects difficult to classify—Poltroon Press has won many
awards for work which continues the tradition of letterpress
printing in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Published by the Pacific Center for the
Book Arts and the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library.
With illustrations and chronology. 46 pages. Limited edition.
