'William Katz, who began publishing books in 1964 as a college student, wanted to create a book using as modest and simple a technique as possible. He asked his Pop artist and writer friends to design commercially made rubber stamps, which he then handprinted to create this book. (?Stamped Indelibly? contains Warhol?s first cow print and Oldenburg?s first drum pedal print.) Robert Indiana, an instructor whom Katz met at college, offered him space in which to work, thus Indianakatz became the imprint of this book. Katz later founded Bouwerie Editions to publish books of poetry with prints .'. (Elizabeth Phillips and Tony Zwicker in 'The American Livre de Peintre'). [The American Livre de Peintre 56].
