Down a winding gravel lane, on a small hillside farm on the edge of Appalachia, lies the Press on Scroll Road. We raise sheep here, keep a large market garden, and hope to make a book or two a year. We handset type and print on a pair of Ostrander Seymour iron handpresses. The papers we choose are most typically handmade. Our books, I suppose, reflect our interests in good writing, intelligent authors, books, farming. But categories are always difficult. Perhaps their best description and the one we prefer is eclectic. Recent authors include Wendell Berry, Gene Logsdon, Colin Franklin, Maury Telleen and Donald McCaig. We try to live and farm here in ways that are at once simple, quiet and elegant. Our books, we hope, also reflect these qualities. |
