The Compton Press was, like much of the 1960s, a happening. It
began, not with a grand design, but with a passion for letterpress
printing. This passion was very infectious, and people were drawn
to the mix of compositors, machine-minders, proof readers, editors,
and typographers initially based in a converted cowshed and coach
house in Compton Chamberlayne, Wiltshire. We stubbornly clung onto
our liking for letterpress, and this led to our eventual demise,
but for the 12 years that we lasted we printed over 500 editions of
books, published over 100, and produced many journals, and
uncountable items of jobbing printing.
