"An Art Activity Book Ages: 3-10 Title: Date Published: Format: ISBN#: Publisher: Super Sand Art February 2006 Hardcover, 56pp 9781593599348 Peter Pauper Press In 1928, after studying with famed book and type designer Frederic W. Goudy, printer William Edwin Rudge, and Melbert B. Cary, 22-year-old Peter Beilenson set up a small press in the basement of his father’s home in Larchmont, New York, and designed and printed about 200 copies of J. M. Synge’s With Petrarch. The entire print run was purchased by a New York bookseller, and the volume was lauded as one of the American Institute of Graphic Arts’ "50 Books of the Year." This was the auspicious beginning of the Peter Pauper Press. The books were sold at “prices even a pauper could afford,” according to Nick, though many included slipcovers, handmade paper, one- or two-color printing, and illustrations, woodcuts, and graphics by some of the 20th century’s most acclaimed artists, including Valenti Angelo, Fritz Kredel, Lynd Ward, Fritz Eichenberg, Raymond Lufkin, and Richard Floethe. Anticipating its 80th anniversary, Peter Pauper Press is prospering with a customer-pleasing line of books, stationery, journals, holiday cards, engagement calendars, children’s books, travel guides, and vibrant new and backlist bestsellers."
