BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Words Project recently announced two new partnerships in the publishing and printing of the much-anticipated book Print Town: Brattleboro's Legacy of Words.
In a culmination of three years of dedicated work, the book, due out this fall, will be published by the Vermont Historical Society, Inc. and printed by Howard Printing in Brattleboro.
“Our partnerships with Howard Printing and Vermont Historical Society created pretty much our dream-team publishing lineup for this book,” Brattleboro Words Project Executive and Creative Director Jen Austin said in a news release.
Print Town features more than 30 authors with connections to Brattleboro, all lending a unique perspective and style to telling the story of the region's long history, and ongoing legacy, of printing, publishing, and words.
This mix of researched histories and personal recollections evolved into a richly illustrated book designed by Jim Bisson and edited by Michael Fleming.
Vermont Historical Society book editor Alan Berolzheimer remarked that “the writing is consistently good throughout, and the book is beautiful. I think it does a lot to illuminate the history and character of your corner of the state.”
