Join us Monday, February 9, 2026 at 6:30pm for a special reception, open house, and conversation with Suntup Edition’s creative team.

Experience special exhibit, A 21st-century Fine Press at the American Bookbinders Museum. Suntup Editions produces limited editions that embody the finest traditions of a fine press—letterpress printing, thoughtful typography, commissioned illustrations, exquisite materials, and finely crafted bindings.

Founder Paul Suntup is the architect behind an innovative fine press. Often credited with helping to spark a new renaissance in letterpress printing, he has introduced fine press publishing to a wider audience while maintaining uncompromising standards of artistry and execution.

Suntup Editions span genres not typically associated with a fine press. Among the publications you’ll find classics like Dante’s Divine Comedy alongside childhood favorite, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. On display are a selection of editions that range from literary classics to modern works of fiction, each realized through collaboration with leading printers, designers, binders, and artists. Through a distinctive multi-state approach—offering variations in binding, paper, and presentation—his editions demonstrate how a fine press can be both accessible and aspirational in the 21st century.

Meet the Suntup team: Paul, Jason & Rebecca in a conversation about the joys, challenges, and pitfalls of a 21st-century fine press. Ask them about their design philosophy, running an in-house bindery, and sustaining fine press ideals in a contemporary context. Join us for this special evening at the American Bookbinders Museum. Light refreshments and beverages will be served.
