W L Bentley - Fine Press

A Labor of Love: The Petrarch Press is a non-profit “fine press” founded to preserve the arts of the handmade book. We publish beautiful hand-printed editions of spiritual world literature using traditional methods and materials. I currently direct the press and spend a large part of every week designing, printing, binding, and selling the books we make for collectors and special libraries worldwide.
