Our beloved letterpress printery has moved to a cozy studio in the heart of downtown Mt Vernon. We will always feel profound gratitude for almost 20 years at our gorgeous farm in the Cascade foothills on the banks of the Skagit River. Our brief year downriver outside the ever-loving village of Bow-Edison nestled in the nurturing farmlands of the Skagit flats was nothing but blessing. Now, my small & gentle hand bookbindery is located just a block south of the Skagit Food Coop, the warm heart of our community.

The focus of Stern & Faye Printers has shifted from decades of letterpress printing & fine-press publishing, to hand-bookbinding. I work with book artists, poets, writers, designers, photographers, book lovers, & all manner of good folk, offering clients & students over 30 years of experience in custom binding, guidance & assistance in book-related creative work, & private instruction.
