Publishing Group

The Publishing Group (PG) consists of Society members who delight in printing and publishing short runs, purely for the pleasure of it, to an audience of similarly minded members. The PG circulates its own monthly bundle to each group member. Printed items will vary from a single sheet or a small card to small booklets and, occasionally, limited edition books.

Once a year members contribute pages on a subject previously agreed by the group members. The pages are assembled and bound as a book called Small Printing. Each contributing member receives a copy and the remaining copies are sold; many have become collectors’ items.

New members are welcome and are required to distribute a Prop Card, giving simple details of their press name, equipment and interests before joining and all members of the Group are expected to contribute at least two items per year. There is a small extra subscription, currently £5.00 per annum, which covers additional postal costs. Items submitted to the Publishing Group are automatically sent to the required Copyright Libraries. Further Information is available from the Group Chairman, Arthur Baker: email or telephone him on 0161 440 8746.
