OCLC only locates one copy at the Bancroft. "Double-H Press, a print shop located in San Francisco?s Haight-Ashbury district, is best known for the posters in printed for rock concerts and other events during the late 1960s. Owned and operated by Robert Millard Hill (1918-2011) and his common-law wife Jennie Davis Hill (1914-1969), it was in business on Haight Street from around 1963 until around 1980. Hill was born in Seattle, grew up in Spokane and moved with his family to Los Angeles as a teenager, where he attended high school. After graduation he apprenticed as a printer and joined the lithographers union. He also studied at the University of California at Los Angeles, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree around 1940. Hill served in the U.S. Army during World War II, working at the Presidio of San Francisco as a physician?s assistant. After the war he worked for Schwabacher-Frey, a San Francisco printer and stationery house. In 1952 Hill went to New York City, where he met Jennie Davis; they would have two daughters. They drove to San Francisco in 1954, where Hill rejoined Schwabacher-Frey. He opened his own print shop around 1961, first on Union Street before moving to Haight Street. Named ?Double-H? after Hill and his wife, the shop carried on a general commercial offset printing business. Jennie Hill ran the business operation in the front of the shop while Hill did the printing. He also created oil paintings in a small room in the back of the shop. Their daughter Judith Hill recalls that the front of the shop became something of a social center on Haight Street. As San Francisco?s psychedelic era took off, Double-H began printing posters, such as the posters it printed for the dance concerts sponsored by Chet Helms (1942-2005) of the Family Dog at the Avalon Ballroom in 1966 and 1967, including posters designed by Alton Kelley (1940-2008), Stanley Mouse (b. 1940) and Wes Wilson (b. 1937). Sill a member of the union, Hill printed the union logo for Local #72 on some of the posters. Double-H printed a variety of posters for other music venues, including the Straight Theatre and the nightclub Whisky a Go-Go. A 1966 poster for The Psychedelic Shop on Haight Street was designed by Rick Griffin (1944-1991). It also printed Griffin?s 1967 head shop posters promoting marijuana, published by The Berkeley Bonaparte, with ?In God We Trust? being the best known. Other print jobs included books of poetry, newsletters, calendars, invitations and other materials. Jennie Hill died in 1969, and Hill married Ruth Shobert the following year. His mother had purchased the building that housed Double-H Press. She died in 1979, leaving him the building. He closed the business, probably in 1980, sold the building and equipment and moved with his wife to Grass Valley, Calif., where he lived and painted for thirty years. He moved to Emmett, Idaho in early 2011, and died later that year." (TNB 12/2016).…
