HE SOYBEAN PRESS is a cooperative effort of The Rare Book & Manuscript Library, The Graduate School of Library and Information Science, The University of Illinois Press, Facilities and Services Printing Department, and the School of Art and Design.

»»»»» OUR GOAL is to expand the awareness and knowledge of fine press books with particular emphasis on the teaching and promotion of letterpress printing.

In preserving this traditional means of book production, »»»»» OUR AIM
is to craft beautifully printed texts and to inspire an appreciation of the book—from its physical design and manufacture to its intellectual content—in students and faculty across campus and in the broader community of our region.

»»»»» THE SOYBEAN PRESS supports the excellence of the library and the mission of the University by celebrating the enduring role of the book in the creation and transmission of human culture.
