TROY BOOK MAKERS :: 291 RIVER ST. 2nd Floor
Troy Book Makers was founded in September 2006 by longtime friends and independent booksellers Eric Wilska, formerly of The Bookloft in Great Barrington and now Shaker Mill Books in West Stockbridge, and Susan Novotny, of Market Block Books and The Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza. Their goal was to create a one of a kind business: as full-service graphic design and short-run book printing company that could produce attractive, well-designed books at a low cost to the customer.
For the last fifteen years The Troy Book Makers' small staff of graphic designers and book lovers have work closely with hundreds of authors to help create a beautiful, custom-made books. Whether the project is for friends and family, for sale, or a treasured keepsake; and no matter the subject from poetry to cookbooks, memoir to sic-fi, history to children’s fiction; TBM does it all.
