Time to Rise
"A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon the window sill,
Cocked his shining eye and said:
"Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head?"
- Robert Louis Stevenson

Peter Pauper Press was founded in 1928 by Peter Beilenson, a 22-year-old printer who studied with renowned book and type designer Frederic W. Goudy. He was later joined by his wife, Edna, who became his partner and helped with the sales and operations of the business. The press printed letterpress volumes of prose and poetry by various authors. The books were often illustrated by prominent artists of the 20th century. Today, Peter Pauper Press is still family owned and operated, and continues to publish books and gifts that reflect its founders' legacy of beauty, quality, and value.
