Last month I was fortunate to attend the preconference of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the American Library Association where I attended a fascinating talk by Carolee Campbell, sole proprietor of Ninja Press, a fine press based in Sherman Oaks, California. The press has been in existence since 1984 producing hand-made books and broadsides. MARBL has a complete collection of books produced by the press and is in good company, as other institutions with complete collections include the British Library, the Library of Congress, Columbia University and Stanford University.
