About

The Stephen Greene Press was Brattleboro’s premier book publisher for over 20 years. Begun in 1957, they specialized in books of regional interest as well as an eclectic range of nonfiction. Their titles included everything from wood-fired saunas and cross-country skiing, to British cartoons, covered bridges, Americana, cookbooks, essays, and history. Originally housed under the Book Cellar at 120 Main Street, the press moved in 1969 to its building on Fessenden Road in South Brattleboro.
