IMAGINARY BOOKS by Reid Byers was featured in The Washington Post!

"It is all a delightfully imaginative jeu d'esprit, and the catalogue itself is a handsome piece of bookmaking.... 'Imaginary Books' is as learnedly entertaining as Byers's earlier study, 'The Private Library,' was exhaustive and magisterial."
- Michael Dirda, The Washington Post

"Suspend [disbelief], and you can enjoy the most extensive and tangible collection of the imaginary - by definition, the rarest of books - to date... Imaginary Books is, as you can imagine, a very elaborate and whimsical bit taken to its most creative extremes."
- Adrian Horton, The Guardian, about the exhibition 'Imaginary Books' at The Grolier Club

Happy 7th Birthday, Charlie! May your day be filled with biscuits to eat and squirrels to chase! 🐾

About us

Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books.

Today, Oak Knoll Books & Press is a thriving company that maintains an inventory of about 22,000 titles. Our main specialties continue to be books about bibliography, book collecting, book design, book illustration, book selling, bookbinding, bookplates, children's books, Delaware books, fine press books, forgery, graphic arts, libraries, literary criticism, marbling, papermaking, printing history, publishing, typography & type specimens, and writing & calligraphy - plus books about the history of all of these fields.
