North Willow Press

Notes

Occasional writing about the books we keep returning to, the paper they are printed on, and the quiet craft of reading slowly.

October 2026

September 2026

Five books for long evenings: a little poetry, a little history, and one novel that is mostly about weather.

July 2026

On the texture of uncoated stock, how it takes ink, and why it ages more gracefully than glossy pages.
