Applewood Books

Applewood Books is an American Publisher that tells the authentic stories of people, places, ideas and history. Their enduring work engages cultural travelers, enriches community, and informs future stewards. They celebrate their beginnings in 1973, when founder Phil Zuckerman drove his ’53 Saab from Denver to Boston, loaded up with a letterpress, an extra engine, and all his worldly possessions. After a few years learning hand bookbinding, paper making, and editing, Phil launched Applewood Press on July 4, 1976 as America celebrated its 200th anniversary of independence. Great job Applewood!
