We have been designing and printing books and ephemera since 1974. Beginning a career in Missoula, Montana Peter Koch started with one platen press. He since settled in the San Francisco Bay area and following the San Francisco literary tradition of fine printing, has acquired an international reputation and several more presses. Our clients and collectors range from major international research libraries to bibliophilic organizations and private collectors and publishers. Between commissions, we design, print and publish limited editions of ancient Greek philosophers, the musings of maverick poets, and the images of world-renowned wood engravers and photographers. Editions Koch specializes in publishing limited edition artist books, broadsides, portfolios, and text transmission objects.
