TESTIMONIALS
"Colleen Dwire's talents as a book designer are richly informed by both her extensive knowledge of typefaces and their histories and too by her skills as both a letterpress printer and woodblock artist.
She and I recently collaborated on the design of Toscanelli's Ray by Wallis Wilde-Menozzi; Colleen did most of the heavy lifting in the design of this work, which book is also a triumph of beautiful design!"
— Jeffrey Miller, Director, Cadmus Editions
". . . I appreciate what you brought to the birthing process of the book. Your ability to create the design and continue to support us thoughout the process was a great comfort. Also your bright spirit and open heart was a joy to work with."
