ABOUT US
Wayfinder Press is a boutique book publishing company with books reflecting Southwestern Colorado: history, biking,hiking, touring, fly fishing, and cross-country skiing. The collection encompasses the San Juan mountain towns of Telluride, Ouray, Ridgway, Silverton, Durango, Crested Butte, Gunnison and Grand Junction. We have been in the publishing business since 1990, and printers since 1978. Wayfinder Press is unique in that we design and print all the books in-house in Ridgway, Colorado. As a small, family operation, we work closely with the authors from inception to the printed product, skillfully, and creatively crafting each book. As printers, we are able to continually print revisions, and keep a well-stocked inventory. Our books are created with TLC. Other services include design and book production for self-publishers. We produce softbound or case bound books, with black & white or full-color photography. Call for estimates. 970-626-5452
