We'll stand beside you to deliver innovative, groundbreaking literature

Acceptance by mainstream corporate publishers is not your priority. While this can make funding your projects challenging, Gorham Printing takes pride in crafting quality products on a scale that meets the needs of small presses. While print-on-demand companies can be convenient, they may be too standardized for your requirements. You risk design errors, poor printing and binding quality, and are left with too few choices for size, paper, and layout.
We share your appreciation of the aesthetics of the printed word and the book-as-object. Our printing and binding options can fulfill your desire for a smart, sleek product. Our well-maintained machines provide high-quality printing and bindery for runs of 25-3,000, perfect for maintaining stock and ordering reprints as needed.
We appreciate the integrity of your vision and stand by with our printers ready, recognizing your zeal for connecting emerging writers who deserve an audience to readers thirsty for quality literature that corporate publishers and big-box stores cannot provide. How to order.
From college and university literary journals, to small press startups, to well-established publishers, Gorham Printing has built a reputation for 35 years as a source for short run book printing. Gorham prints for clients all across the United States and its territories. While we enjoy our thriving national business, we recognize the vibrant regional literary scene in the Pacific Northwest, and take pride in offering our services to such a thriving local culture. From our beginnings deep in the coastal forests of the Willapa Hills to our present location on the prairies of the Chehalis Valley, our regional roots run deep. Many of the books we have crafted have gained a wide readership through distributors like Small Press Distribution and have been regularly stocked in independent bookstores nationwide.
- We produce standard sizes of 5.5x8.5, 6x9 or 8.5 x 11, but we are also flexible to special sizes
- Quantities from 25 to 3000
- Perfect bound or hardcover
- We offer excellent design for both cover and text. Check out our design section.
Our standard text paper is 60# white Husky offset and our standard cover stock is 12 point Carolina CIS with lamination. These stocks are typically the lowest price of any we offer. If your book requires a different “treatment” other stocks are available. For example you might wish to have a “softer” cover printed on an uncoated cover stock without lamination with matching interior stock. A good pick for this approach might be Accent natural 80# smooth cover with 70# natural smooth text. Additionally, we can meet environmental concerns with our recycled paper options.
