until 1976. Printing was done on an 1857 Albion handpress as well as a
seventeenth century press (both of which were donated to the Bancroft Library
at the University of California, Berkeley). The Tamalpais Press printed a wide
range of materials from books to event posters and programs to business cards
and invitations. The books printed by the press focused mostly on California
history subjects.
