Item 85 is a collection of 42 pieces from the Overbrook Press. Overbrook was founded in 1934 by Frank Altschul, an investment banker with an interest in books and printing. Altschul printed a fair number of political pamphlets, generally from a left point of view, but even these were printed with unusual care for quality. Additionally, he printed books and other items more typically associated with fine press work. This collection includes both topical and literary works along with some Christmas greetings. Dates range from 1940-1969. Overbrook closed its doors in 1969. $700.
