Welcome
to never mind the press,
the imprint of Alisa Golden

News
News from the press, updated monthly. Descriptions of new book art, listings of exhibitions, publications, and other book-related information.

Catalog

Detailed descriptions of books listed by year. Current years are listed first. Eventually, all years since 1983 will be available for your perusal. Find books from the press collected at a library near you.

Classes

Check out various classes given by wonderful teachers around the San Francisco Bay Area. Or, never mind where you live, take a look at these instructional books: Creating Handmade Books, Unique Handmade Books, Expressive Handmade Books , Painted Paper or Making Handmade Books by Alisa Golden.

Blog

Making Handmade Books is also the name of my blog. In it I explore the crossroads of art, craft, reading, and creative writing, and I cover new material, particularly about the creative process, as a supplement to the book. Small essays, musings, projects, stories, and links posted several times a month. A form and forum for discussion! Leave your comments there.
