Alternatives to the I Street Press for Book Publishing
I Street Press was an in-library printing press that allowed the public to print their own books, including novels, family and community history non-fiction, cookbooks, memoirs, journals and graphic novels. The I Street Press has been retired due to inconsistent access to printing machinery and parts. Below are alternative resources that can be used to publish material.
