For many years, people in the Brattleboro area talked about the need to document Brattleboro’s ‘print town’ history in a book; The Brattleboro Words Project, buoyed by a National Endowment for the Humanities matching grant and enthusiastic local support, made it a reality. 

A richly illustrated, 278-page, 26-chapter book, written by 36 local writers and artists, that captures the whimsical flavor of this important center for papermaking, printing, writing and publishing and its historical role in the nation over time. 

Winner of the Independent Book Publishing Professionals Group's 2022 Next Generation Indie Book Award for Best Overall Design-Nonfiction, and finalist for Historical (Nonfiction)!
