Neil Shaver (1924 - 2019) started the Yellow Barn Press in Council Bluffs, Iowa in the 1960s, though he did not begin printing seriously until 1979. He began at the University of Nebraska that year, where he studied printing under Harry Duncan and produced the first Yellow Barn Press book. He went on to print many expertly designed and crafted books about books: The Old Printing Office (1985), Elbert Hubbard: William MorrisÕs Greatest Imitator (1999), American Iron Hand Presses (1991), and John DePol: A Celebration (1994). Quarto. 140 pp. With twenty-two color plates and fifty-eight illustrations, many of them John DePolÕs wood engravings. Printed on Zerkall paper in Eric GillÕs Perpetua Quarter black Oasis goatskin over DePol patterned paper boards. Leather spine label titled in gilt. A fine copy with the prospectus in a black cloth clamshell case. One of 175 copies. Starting with The Old Printing Office, John DePol (1913 Ð 2004) illustrated eighteen books for the Yellow Barn Press with his wood engravings. Jack Walsdorf writes that Òthe nineteen eighties and nineties were the time of John DePolÕs most significant work and nowhere was it more in evidence than in the work he did for the Yellow Barn Press.Ó.
