About the press
The Whittington Press was founded in 1971 by John and Rosalind Randle in the Gloucestershire village of Whittington, later relocating to Risbury, Herefordshire. An internationally acclaimed press that prints and publishes all of its work in letterpress, it has issued over 250 books along with the journal Matrix, widely regarded as one of the finest book-arts productions of the modern era. The press is closely associated with wood engraving and fine typography and helped train a generation of private-press printers, including Simon Lawrence of the Fleece Press.
