In 1928, at the age of twenty-two, Peter Beilenson began printing books on a small press in the basement of his parents¡¯ home in Larchmont, New York. Peter¡ªand later, his wife, Edna¡ªsought to create fine books that sold at prices even a pauper could afford.
Today, still family owned and operated, Peter Pauper Press continues to honor our founders¡¯ legacy¡ªand our customers¡¯ expectations¡ªof beauty, quality, and value.
