lone goose press is dedicated to excellence in the crafts of typographic design, letterpress printing and bookbinding. Over the last two decades, proprietor Sandy Tilcock’s work has been recognized for its impeccable and imaginative craftsmanship and design. The subtlety and refinement of her work keeps it understated, in keeping with her philosophy, “Do good work and allow the work to speak for itself.”

Sandy is committed to working in a spirit of true collaboration with clients, authors, and artists and sees her role as creating a physical bridge between word, image and binding structure so they interact and weave together.

The work of the Press falls into three areas: fine press publishing; commission work including letterpress printing, binding and boxmaking; and non letterpress design projects.

The Press publishes limited edition letterpress printed broadsides and handbound books, working in collaboration with exceptional contemporary writers and artists. Using traditional letterpress equipment and materials the result is “art which stands with ideas.”

Commission work includes designing, printing and production of suites of portfolio prints, books, broadsides, edition binding and boxmaking for other printers/publishers, as well as one-of-a-kind bindings and boxes.

Non letterpress design projects include consulting, advising, designing and production management of publications that are produced with technology other than letterpress.
